2026 Classical Fencing Open

The Association for Historical Fencing and Palm Beach Classical Fencing are pleased to invite you to a classical fencing tournament. This open tournament will include foil, épée and sabre. If you're new to classical fencing please read our rules carefully. Keep in mind that fencers are also awarded technical points to distinguish between those who are adhering to sound martial principles and those who are merely interested in scoring points.

Complete rules for foil, épée and sabre are available on the Associations for Historical Fencing's website. Please familiarize yourself with the rules. Fencers must be at least 12 years old to participate.

There will be raffle in support of the AHF.
