Ready to purchase your equipment? 
 

Dear fencing friends and families, it's with great pleasure we are announcing our new armory and equipment services at CFA!

 

Coach Konstantin ( +1 704 340 1514 / coachkonstantin@cardinalfencingacademy.com ) is our designated armorer and he’s opening a virtual store at the club. Please contact him directly when ready to purchase equipment. 

 

We are streamlining sizing, ordering and repairing equipment to the highest possible quality and convenience while keeping prices as reasonable as possible. CFA gets a club discount with most vendors and recently there has been a ton of changes to the market. Navigating the myriad options is near impossible unless you’ve been in the game for decades, so we are here to help.

 

Coach Konstantin will also be working directly with all the coaches to make sure the kit is fine-tuned to individual specs down to the millimeter.
