Clubs

The University Stellenbosch Fencing Club is based at Coetzenburg, at the gymnasium. The club has been active for decades and has a rich history in fencing instructors from France as well as Italy and Russia. The club has a legacy of rich fencing culture that is balanced with healthy social activity. At the moment it is the strongest University based fencing club in the country, constantly setting new standards.

Stellenbosch Fencing Academy was origianally founded in 1999 by Marius Titus (certified fencing instructor and Senior Mátre) under the name of Fox's Cavalry. The aim of the club is to accomodate young fencers at schoolgoing age. Children are not only taught to fence, but also to start thinking independently while respecting each other. It is currently based at Rietenbosch Primary School in Stellenbosch. Both social as well as competitive fencers are accomodated.
