NTNUI Fekting

FAQ
Q: Is there going to be a beginners' course? A: Yes, we begin September 2nd, 18:30, in the "Armfeldtsalen" training hall at Gløshaugen Sports Centre. The exact format haven't be decided upon, but there will be one or two training sessions per week. Q: What equipment do I need? A: Regular gear for indoor training, including shoes that don't leave marks. You can borrow fencing gear from us for the duration of the beginners' course. Q: Does it cost anything? A: The fencing club won't charge you anything, but you have to be a member of NTNUI to be allowed entrance to the Sports Centre. Non-students may want to contact Tordenskiold Trondheim Fekteklubb instead. Q: How much is the equipment? A: A full set of gear will set you back around 4000kr, but most people usually buy the most important stuff first (mask, glove, wire and epee), and leave the rest (jacket, trousers, underplastron, bag, more epees/wires, repair gear, ...) for later. The basic set costs about 1600kr right now, but since we buy all our equipment from abroad, this is dependent on the currency rates. Q: Can I buy equipment right now? A: Unfortunately there are no suppliers in Norway, so the club usually buys gear from either Germany (Uhlmann or Allstar) or England (Leon Paul) once or twice a year. Personal gear can be ordered at the same time.
