*Forge Fight Club April Edition: Sunday, April 21st from 1:00pm to 4:00pm



Forge Fight Club is a new event hosted by Forge Fencing designed to provide fun and challenging competitive bouting experience. The question arose, how can we create an environment for fencers from across NC to gather and fence to support their development? The solution was to open up Forge and create a fun and challenging experience for intermediate to advanced fencers to get a LOT of bouts against a wide array of fencers.



Join us at Forge’s amazing facility with 16 grounded strips and state of the art Radical Flooring System. Forge Fight club will be facilitated by Coach Stephen Pashby and additional Forge Coaching Staff.








Who should participate and what do we need to bring?


  • Athletes age 16 through adult (exceptions will be made for nationally competitive Y14s, by coach recommendation)
  • Fencers must bring their own full tournament equipment kit to participate. Expect the same equipment standards as a national tournament.



What is the cost?


  • A $30 drop in fee for Forge non-members and "Supporting Members.” Fee is INCLUDED for Unlimited Open Bouting Members, High Performance, and Teen/Adult Academy members. Fencers from across our region are invited and welcome to attend! 


  • PLEASE PAY VIA ASKFRED BEFORE ARRIVING. We do not have onsite admin staff for this event. Forge Members will have their registrations approved prior to the event.


How is this going to work?


  • Athletes will participate in a series of 5, 10, and 15 touch bouts. Exact parameters will be adjusted based on the needs of the group. In general expect pool rounds, followed by DE length bouts.
  • All bouts will be run to competition standards of time, rules, and athlete conduct.
  • All participants are expected to officiate bouts when not fencing – don't worry we will back you up if you aren't an experienced ref!
  • We are going to fence hard, have fun, and level up our skills through focused training.
