What is a “Mega Open Fencing” session?

A “Mega Open Fencing” session lets fencers from one club fence at another club during open fencing hours.  This approach is unique to the Long Island Fencers’ Club, as we are the only club on Long Island that operates two separate fencing locations, allowing for this kind of crossover experience.

How does the “Mega Open Fencing” session benefit the participants?

Mega Open Fencing lets fencers compete with people outside their usual practice group.  This creates a dynamic, tournament-like atmosphere that helps to broaden their experience and sharpen their competitive edge.

Do the other weapons still participate in the Open Fencing session?

No, our Mega Open Fencing session was a huge success! Presently, our Patchogue location hosts six strips, and our Huntington location hosts seven strips.
