EQUIPMENT

Full fencing equipment is provided to both members and non-members.

Training outfit:

Beginner fencers are expected to have a comfortable fitness outfit (t-shirt, tracksuit pants, non-marking indoor sports shoes). All other fencing equipment is provided for the first 3 months of the programme. Subsequently, fencers are encouraged to purchase their personal equipment.

To ensure a safe, organized, and enjoyable experience for all participants, we kindly request that all attendees adhere to the following expectations during their involvement in MKFA (MK Fencing Academy) fencing programmes:

1. Attire: Participants are required to wear the official MKFA t-shirt provided upon registration. This ensures easy identification and promotes a sense of unity among the participants.

2. Clothing: Long black tracksuit pants are the recommended bottom wear for all fencing sessions. These pants offer the necessary flexibility and protection during movements and strikes.

3. Hydration: Staying hydrated is essential during physically demanding activities. We advise all participants to bring a water bottle to the sessions and take regular water breaks to maintain their well-being.

4. Footwear: Indoor trainers or sports shoes are mandatory for all participants. Proper footwear provides stability, and grip, and prevents unnecessary injuries during quick footwork and changes in direction.

By adhering to these participation expectations, all fencers can focus on their training, develop their skills, and enjoy a positive and enriching experience within the MKFA community. Let’s strive together to make our fencing programmes successful and rewarding for everyone involved. Happy fencing!

USE OF ACADEMY EQUIPMENT

Fencing equipment is expensive, and MKFA is fortunate to have a reasonable amount of gear for use by its fencers. Fencers who are beginners may use the Academy equipment for the first three months, after which they are expected to purchase their own swords, glove, mask, jacket, plastron, etc. In particular, the Academy does supply electric swords for regular MKFA fencers. Electric scoring boxes, spools are available for use by all Academy fencers during Academy times. Note that the Academy equipment may only be used by Academy fencers.

Please handle the equipment carefully. If something breaks, please put it aside and inform the coach in order to be replaced. There is a charge of AED 100 for a broken sword or damaged glove, jacket, mask, etc (Academy equipment).

If you would like to order your personal equipment please contact us at: fence@mkfencingacademy.com

GROUP SESSIONS POLICY

Group sessions can be taken session by session or with monthly packages. For your personal goals and needs, there are tailored packages for one month that offer convenient savings plans.

If you are unable to attend your scheduled lessons for any reason, you can only make them up within the same month and in sessions that are not part of your package. Make-up lessons cannot be carried over to future months and will be forfeited if unused.

We understand that unavoidable situations, such as illness or injury, may arise. In such cases, we will consider each situation individually and try to find a flexible solution.

It’s important to plan ahead to ensure your child doesn’t miss any fencing lessons, especially with upcoming school exams and travel plans etc. Proper planning will help maintain steady progress in their fencing programme without interruptions.

PRIVATE SESSIONS CANCELLATION POLICY

Private training sessions may be cancelled 24 hours before the scheduled session start without a fee. If the student is unable to inform us of session cancellation 24 hours before, the full price of the lesson must be paid.

We are fairly relaxed about the 24-hour policy, and as long as the student cancels the day before, even if it’s not a full 24 hours notice, MKFA will not charge for the lesson.
