Youth fencing gear is shorter, lighter, and proportioned for kids — not just adult gear in smaller sizes. The Size 2 blade is three inches shorter than adult Size 5 and weighted for a kid's grip.
If you're outfitting a child under 12 for first lessons or a school program, this is the right page. For older kids and competitive teens, see Adult.

Right-sized from the start.
Adult gear on a kid is a recipe for bad habits. Heavy weapons cause tip-drop. Adult-sized masks rock on small heads. The youth-specific gear here is what we issue at TMFC for kids under 12.
