Stab & Grab Tournaments
One of our most popular programs are the weekly Stab & Grab fencing tournaments. Stabbing is the tournament and Grabbing is the food. Drop in Saturdays at 1 p.m. (Épée) and 2 p.m. (Foil) for this free, five-touch bout, direct-elimination competition. Stay for the potluck after the tournament and to continue fencing with your friends. We have extra equipment for rent if needed. Rental cost is $10 for full gear and $5 for a blade and body cord. See Stab & Grab information

Youth Tournaments
Our Youth tournaments are for age groups 4-6; 6-8; 8-10 and 8-12 in all three weapons. All tournaments are electric and require electric lames and weapons except for 4-6 year old events. We have electric plastic blades for those events. Rental fee for Youth events 6-12 for lame (electric fencing jacket) and blade and body cord is $5. Must be a USFF member and a Red Rock member in good standing before you can enter the event. All forms are at the front desk. USFF membership for youth is $10 a year and Red Rock membership for 4-6 year olds is $50 for 6 months.

    Team Tournaments
    These are fun and exciting tournaments because a team can consist of 2 or 3 fencers, depending on the type of team tournament, and can be of any age, ranking or gender. Seeding is done by random order unless otherwise noted.
