Holiday gifts

Since the Holidays are approaching, why not buy a fencing class for someone? A great way to share your passion of fencing, HoF will help you. Will give you 20 percent off the class if you buy it for a Holiday present, see Johnny or Walt Also, lets not forget Fencing Equipment as a gift. Fencing equipment is always a great gift, and you or your loved one should have his or her stuff. The first thing every fencer should have is a mask, jacket and glove, after that every fencer should get an epee, body cord and fencing bag

Finally, if you or yours is a competitive fencer and goes to USFA events, then in time you will need 4 weapons and 3 body cords at least.

HoF keeps extra body cords and weapons for our members to borrow. This is a service we provide to help out the beginner tourney goer. As you fence more you must take responsibility for your own fencing and fencing equipment. When a tourney is coming up, the back up equipment goes to the more novice fencer, so remember this equipment is to help you in the beginning.

Hug a loved one,
