Camp Schedule

During the camp, we will implement a program covering three weapons: epee, saber, and rapier, as well as elements of martial arts. The training will also include sports games and activities tailored to the participants’ ages. We ensure that each child can develop not only their fencing skills but also improve their overall physical fitness. The program is adapted to current times, taking into account the sedentary lifestyle of most children and remote learning. Therefore, we incorporate exercises that enhance posture, flexibility, and mobility of the entire body into the training.

About the School:

Since 1998, the Aramis Fencing School has been teaching Modern Classical Fencing (MCF). We are the largest school of MCF in the world. We exist for all those who combine a passion for sports with the tradition of fencing. We operate in several cities across Poland and collaborate with MCF schools from other countries. Our camps are attended by athletes from all over the world.

What is MCF – Modern Classical Fencing

Modern Classical Fencing is an extreme sport that has developed alongside Olympic fencing. It has its own championships, competitions, and detailed regulations. The rules are based on the principle that every bout must be conducted as if the weapons were sharp. Competitive level fights allow martial arts techniques (other than just scoring with a weapon).
