Sydney Sabre

Australia's best fencing club.

Pls disinfect 🤗

2019nCoV is in the wild in Sydney. If you are concerned about infection at training, we encourage you to explore non-contact alternatives to handshakes. Old-school kung-fu bowing is the new default.

And, like, don't train if sick. Rest up!

Kung hei fat choi, we love you all 🤗

We're fine, how about you guys

[Sydney Sabre @SydneySabre]

(Context for our international audience: Sydney is on fire right now, the sky is orange and full of ash, and breathing outdoors is not recommended. Please wish us luck 🔥😷)

[Sydney Sabre @SydneySabre]

Reminder for our fencers that our club is air-conditioned. We've sealed whatever gaps we could find and set the AC on re-circulate. If you're after cleanish air, we've got some, and it should be okay for you to train. If you want to just hang out and breathe, that's fine too.

@JenCannPro @FIE_fencing That's true, and there needs to be an increase in transparency in refereeing conventions. We've been banging on this drum for a while...

@JenCannPro @FIE_fencing How does this help with directing? The enormous majority of comp-level hits will remain valid. Directing is a human education problem, not a technological problem.

@FIE_fencing Cards on the table, we tried to build one of these in 2015. It's easy to do badly but extremely hard to do well.

[Sydney Sabre @SydneySabre]

@FIE_fencing: everyone has to use super expensive blades now because safety

Also @FIE_fencing : hey how about introducing a complicated new piece of equipment to force everyone to hit hard

Consistency ✅

Coming to you live from Australian National Championships, where a team just won a match by 48 points.

Yup. 48.

[Sydney Sabre @SydneySabre]

We got Samele confused with Kim in a video. Sydney Sabre is cancelled, everyone go home.

It's 2019 and this is the only video we have of an Olympic qualifying tournament. Team GBR comes agonishingly close to epic giant-slayer status, pushing the unstoppable monsters of Team Korea all the way to 44-44 in the round of 16.

If you have more, hit us up 👀

@damonayoung There's less doubles now they've gone back to calling prep like they're supposed to.

[Sydney Sabre @SydneySabre]

Look, an art.

If you would also like to do an art, come to our mask painting workshop on January 24.

Proposal 13 on the 2019 #FIE rules updates is legit fantastic. Stars on your jacket if you're a #FencingChampion 🤩
