Fencing is a small sport in Norway. In order to develop some kind of proficiency in the sport and not spread the mass to thin, The Norwegian Fencing Federation decided to focus on épée. Recently sabre fencing started to emerge in some of the smaller cities, paving the way for other fencing disciplines. For now, NTNUI will focus solely on épée.

In addition to NTNUI, there is also a fencing group in Trondheim where anyone can join without being a student! Check out Tordenskiold Trondheim Fekteklubb if you are interested!

One fun fact about NTNUI Fencing is that it was established in 1910, making it three years older than the International Fencing Federation (FIE) — which, in our opinion, is quite cool 🙂
