Fencing for kids in Oslo

5 options are listed under fencing in Oslo, across 4 districts, for children and young people aged 6 to 18. Below is the full list with age and district for each option.

Districts with an offering: Vestre Aker, Bjerke, Frogner, Søndre Nordstrand.

Fencing differs from most martial arts in that distance is the whole point. You score with the tip of a weapon, never with the body, and everyone wears a mask and jacket from the very first session. That makes fencing an option even for children who dislike close physical contact.

The sport demands more thinking than most children's sports: a bout is a series of fast decisions about timing and distance.

Worth knowing about fencing

Clubs lend out all the equipment in beginner classes, and that is worth counting on: a complete fencing kit costs many thousands of kroner, and nobody expects a beginner to own their own.

Fencing is a small sport in Norway, and that is an advantage: groups are small, and it is a short step from starting to taking part in competitions for those who want to.
