The Wits Fencing Club is one of the oldest sports clubs at the University of the
Witwatersrand, contributing skilled athletes to South African fencing for over 85 years. It
welcomes students of all interests — whether they want fun, fitness, camaraderie, or
competitive sport. 

Members train with peers, develop tactical skills, and often compete in local, provincial, and
national events. Wits fencers have proudly represented the university and, more recently,
South Africa at the junior level — for example, a Wits fencer competed with the South
African Junior U20 team, winning silver at an African championship.
