As in many other martial arts endeavors, a certain amount and type of equipment is required.

It is possible to start small, for instance with simply a fencing mask and gloves. 

As you progress in training you will very likely need (and desire) to aquire more gear to both enable and improve your training. 

Whereever possible we will assist with loaned equipment to help out those new to the group.

Below are a few examples of equipment you will need--the first item most new practitioners will need is a Fencing Mask.

Purchasing the mask and gloves at the same time is a good idea as well.  A Feder can come later, as your skills grow.
