FENCING FOR LIFE
FENCING FOR LIFE
MADE FOR FENCERS, BY FENCERS.
At Fencing for Life, we blend passion and purpose. We're proud to offer apparel and accessories that allow fencers to express their pride, spirit, and individuality — because fencing isn’t just something you do, it’s a part of who you are.
AT FFL, WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT 3 THINGS: FENCING, FAMILY AND LIFE.
We are a small family business based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Together, my kids and I design all of our own graphics, bringing creativity and heart into every piece we create.
Our mission is simple: to empower fencers of all ages by providing top-quality, stylish merchandise that celebrates the spirit of the sport. We believe in the power of community and the importance of making fencing accessible, exciting, and fun for everyone — whether you're stepping onto the strip for the first time or competing at the highest level.
Fencing is more than a sport — Fencing is a Lifestyle and we want to help you live it!

At Fencing For Life, we are passionate about three things: fencing, family and life. We are big believers in loving what you do and sharing it with others. We encourage you to find your spark in life and let it shine!
We are a family of four, proudly located in St Louis Park, Minnesota. It seems that swords have always been a part of our life, whether made with cardboard or Star Wars light sabers scattered in the house. So when Caden found fencing in 2018, it seemed like a natural flow into the ‘sport of the sword’.
Many years later, Caden (13) loves to compete and has an eye for design. Kai (10) enjoys fencing and is our boss kid-preneur who loves to sell! We all enjoy our roles in the family business and look forward to helping it grow. No matter what, we are in this together for life!
En Garde, Prêt, Allez!

In 2018, my son Caden was in 2nd grade and brought me a picture of 2 fencers he had found in our community ed magazine. His 3 comments were: What is this? Are they real swords? I’m in.
I didn’t know a lot about fencing but I did know that I saw a spark in Caden. Win or lose, win or learn— this kid is in it for life. It’s been an amazing sport, outlet and community for him.
In 2022, Caden joined newspaper club at his middle school. We started creating fencing designs as he was learning how to use the graphic design tools. What started out as an idea for a t-shirt blew up into multiple collections and growing!

The world of fencing has offered some of the best life skills for our sons Caden and Kai. We love our community, coaches and club mates!
Your purchase will make a difference! A percentage of our on-line retail sales will go back to our YEL Fencing Club in Hopkins, Minnesota. There is new opportunity to help build the club and sport— we are excited to be a part of that. Our intention is to help a community that’s been so helpful to us. THANK YOU KINDLY for your support!
