There are many options for purchasing fencing gear in Sydney and worldwide. If you know what you’re looking for, you can order equipment online. Alternatively, if you’d like to try before you buy, you can buy your equipment from local suppliers.
There are two main Fencing suppliers in Sydney that we use for equipment purchases and repairs:
- Jeff Hardge from www.swordsplay.com
mobile: 0415 919 569
email: jeff@swordsplay.com
Jeff Hardge has kindly put together a special package deal for SBHS fencers who need to purchase the minimum equipment from year 8 onwards (underplastron, jacket, breeches and mask). You can find the details of this deal here:
Jeff Hardge has his shop set up at the NSW Fencing Centre and you can visit his stall most afternoons and evenings when the Centre is open. If you wish to purchase from him, it is highly recommended you text or call him beforehand to check if he will be at the Centre and if he has stock of the item you’re after as he does not carry a full inventory with him at all times.
- Jeff Gray from www.jgfencesport.com

email: jefence@tpg.com.au
Jeff Gray has also kindly put together a special deal for SBHS fencers. The details of this deal can be found here: JG Fencing_SBHS Special Deal
Jeff Gray has a mobile workshop in his truck and is usually available during UTS Fencing Club training times (Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:30pm at the SBHS/UTS Gymnasium). If you wish to purchase from him, it is highly recommended you text or call him beforehand to check if he will be at UTS training and if he has stock of the item you’re after as he does not carry a full inventory with him at all times.
Both Jeff Hardge and Jeff Gray both provide a maintenance and repair service for weapons and equipment.
Please feel free to ask around for advice and do your own research to find the gear that suits you best.
