Fencing Classes in East Singapore (at Ubi)

Our Ubi Location

Our studio sits at 177 Ubi Avenue 4 #02-00, easy to reach for families and working adults across the eastern and central-east parts of Singapore. Parking is available nearby, so you can drive in for a lesson without hassle. Whether you are coming from the east side directly or crossing over after work or school, our Ubi base is set up to make regular training convenient.

Since we cover a wide catchment across the island, we also welcome fencers from outside the immediate east who are looking for a well-established club with a proven track record. Get in touch through our booking page and our team can advise on the best way to get here.

Programmes Available at Ubi

Every core programme runs out of our Ubi studio, so you do not need to travel elsewhere in Singapore for a full fencing pathway.

• Kids fencing classes, with private lessons available from around age 3 and group classes starting at age 7, with younger children considered if their aptitude suits it.
• Fencing for Fitness, our adult programme for beginners and those returning to the sport who want a workout that also teaches a real skill.
• Private, one-to-one coaching for students who want faster progress or focused attention on technique.
• Programmes for schools looking to introduce fencing as a co-curricular activity or enrichment option.

All first sessions include the gear you need, so you can try a class at Ubi before deciding on committing to a term.

Why Fencing, and Why Now

Fencing sharpens reflexes, focus and decision-making in a way few other sports do, while still building fitness and coordination. It suits a wide age range, from young children through to adults in their later years, which is part of why we see students at Ubi anywhere from about 3 to 90 years old. If you have been considering a new sport for yourself or your child, a class close to home in the east removes one of the biggest barriers, which is simply getting to training consistently.

Our coaches teach across all three weapons. If you are new to the sport, our page on the 3 weapons explains the differences between foil, sabre and epee and can help you decide where to start.

More Than a Sport

Fencing is a combat sport that keeps the formal code of a martial art. Every bout opens and closes with a salute to the opponent and the referee, and progression is ranked and earned rather than handed out. It builds the same bearing that a uniformed group like the National Cadet Corps or scouts aims for, but through a sport children actually want to attend. Once a fencer is on the piste, they are on their own. There is no teammate to carry the point and nobody else to blame, so they learn to claw back a deficit, hold a lead, lose in public, shake hands, and come back for the next bout. Read more on how fencing builds discipline and how fencing teaches resilience and handling defeat.

We treat this as part of coaching, not an extra. Raising a fencer this way takes more than one adult in the room, and at our Ubi studio that means coaches, parents and older fencers all playing a part.
