About Us

Our Mission

The Hong Kong Veteran Fencing Association is dedicated to promoting the sport of fencing among veterans of all ages. We believe that fencing is not just a sport for the young - it's a lifelong pursuit that offers physical, mental, and social benefits at every stage of life.

What is Veteran Fencing?

Veteran fencing is competitive fencing for fencers aged 40 and above (35 for women in HK). The age categories are:

• Category A: 40-49 years (Women: 35-49 in HK)
• Category B: 50-59 years
• Category C: 60-69 years
• Category D: 70 years and above

Veterans compete in all three weapons: Foil, Epee, and Sabre. Competitions follow FIE (International Fencing Federation) rules.
