The Silversword Fencing Academy was established in 2002 with the primary objective of teaching people the art of fencing. Fencing is considered a western martial art. Silversword promotes positive character building in young adults, teaching its students to be brave-hearted, have respect, confidence and be a good sportsman. The Silversword Fencing Academy trains athletes from beginners through to national and international champions and will continue to do so with the help of its amazing coaches, the support of the parents and the wider community.
