About Dubai Fencing Academy

Dubai Fencing Academy teaches two of fencing's three weapons, sabre and épée, to kids and teens. Its classes now run at Harrow International School Dubai on Al Asayel Street in Al Thanyah Second: the academy's Instagram announces the school as its new home, and its Google listing sits at the same address. The academy describes its training as building confidence, discipline, speed and focus, with expert coaches and an Olympic pathway for young fencers who want to go further, and it posts about its students taking part in UAE competitions. Registration is done directly with the academy by phone, WhatsApp or email. Age bands, class days and times, fees and whether there is a trial session are not published, so ask the academy about its junior groups before you book. On Google it holds 5.0 from 5 reviews, all of them five stars.

The activity

Fencing, explained

Fencing is a fast, one-on-one combat sport fought with a blade (foil, epee or sabre), scored by touches rather than force. Kids learn footwork, distance control, timing and blade technique inside protective gear, building focus, reflexes and discipline rather than raw strength. It rewards quick thinking as much as athleticism. Beginners usually start with basic footwork and safety drills before any bouting, and each club sets its own starting age, so check the youngest age a club takes before you book a first session.

Who it's for

Kids and teens (the academy's own wording). Specific age bands, and whether beginners are grouped by age or level, are not published - ask the provider.

What to expect

The academy teaches sabre and épée with professional coaching at Harrow International School Dubai, and offers a pathway toward competitive fencing, including UAE competitions. What a first session covers, which kit is provided and which you need to buy, how long sessions run and whether there is a trial class are not published - ask the provider before your first visit, and check which entrance to use at the school.
