We can fully repair any weapon and most equipment at Northwest Indiana Fencing Club, please contact Dale Block or show up at the Club on Monday or Wednesday evening during normal fencing hours to discuss your needs. We maintain not only the Northwest Indiana Fencing Club weapons, personal weapons for our members but we also do the repairs for both the Homewood-Flossmoor H.S. Fencing Team and the Marian Catholic H.S. Fencing Team.
We typically keep a supply of most common blades for Saber, Epee and Foil in stock and can replace blades while you wait. Rewiring Foil and Epee blades, as well as replacing or repairing Foil and Epee points is an easy task with parts kept on hand for those. Body and Mask cord repairs are also offered. Whatever your Armory needs, we can probably help you out.

While primarily a saber club, Coach Marc Ryser is a qualified instructor for all 3 weapons. Several of our members are dual blade fencers and have competed in both Saber and Epee. Epee matches are common at the club in addition to Saber matches.
SPECIAL NOTE: We have discounts available with many of the suppliers; please ask Dale Block if you have any equipment / purchasing questions. If you are purchasing weapons or equipment for yourself, as a gift for another fencer, or simply have questions about equipment before starting a class, Dale is able to help you out with answers and should you decide he will help you get the best prices on your purchases.
Members often display their medals and awards from various tournaments at the club, as well as both High School and USFA competitions that occur at outside venues.
