About Fencing

Fencing is one of the world’s oldest sports, combining centuries of tradition with modern athletic performance. It demands speed, precision, tactical thinking, and mental focus, where every movement and decision can determine the outcome of a bout. Beyond physical ability, fencing develops discipline, respect, and strategic awareness — values that remain at the heart of the sport today.

Modern fencing is practiced in three weapons — épée, foil, and sabre — each with its own character, rules, and tactical depth. While the weapons differ in style, they share a common foundation of fair play, continuous improvement, and technical excellence. For many athletes, fencing becomes more than a sport — it becomes a lifelong commitment.

The Adria region and the Balkan countries have a long-standing and often underrepresented fencing tradition. Across this region, fencing has been shaped by strong club systems, dedicated coaches, and generations of athletes competing at a high international level. Fencers from Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Greece have reached World Championships, European Championships, and Olympic Games, particularly in foil and épée, as well as sabre.

Historical examples underline this legacy. As early as the turn of the 20th century, Croatian fencer Milan Neralić achieved international recognition by winning a bronze medal at the 1900 Paris Olympic Games, marking one of the first Olympic fencing successes from the region. In later decades, athletes from Serbia and Slovenia continued to represent the Balkans on the world stage, competing in World Cup events, European Championships, and World Championships, keeping the region firmly present in international fencing.

At Adria Fencing, our name reflects this deep regional connection. We aim to serve and connect fencers across the Adria region and the wider Balkans, while remaining fully aligned with international standards. We understand the needs of clubs and athletes in this part of Europe — from young beginners to experienced competitors preparing for high-level events.

We work exclusively with trusted manufacturers and offer equipment that meets strict safety and performance requirements, including FIE-approved products. Our mission is to support fencing in the Adria and Balkan region by providing reliable, high-quality equipment that allows athletes to focus on training, development, and performance.
