Now I’m a member! What’s next? What do I need to start dueling?
Now that you've joined, you'll need some starting equipment. Below you'll find the gear you'll need in order to get started. Ask your charter representative before you purchase, to ensure you’re getting correct equipment. Even if you don’t have any gear yet, attend scheduled meets! Your local group may have extra gear and sabers for you to try!
Minimum Mandatory Equipment
- Head Protection – 3W or 350N+ fencing/HEMA mask

This will get you started on low speed, low impact partner drills and exercises. When you’re ready to advance to higher levels, further gear requirements are located in the Hold Harmless Agreement you signed above. Remember, saber combat is DANGEROUS! Protect yourselves appropriately to avoid injury. Happy sabering!
