Let's be honest for a second.
If you're the parent of a competitive fencer, you already know how intense it can get — the travel, the early mornings, the gear, the coaching, the pressure, the pride. You watch them fence. You celebrate the wins. You support them through the losses.
You ask your kid, “So what did you learn today?” They pause. “I’m not really sure… I think I won two. That one DE was close. I probably should’ve done more parries.” Sound familiar?
And then Monday rolls around, and life moves on.
Except… what actually happens to all those lessons from the tournament?
- Where do the insights go?
- Where are the moments to review and reflect?
- Where's the feedback that's going to help them do better next time?
That's the question we kept running into — and that's exactly why we built FencingBuddies.com.
We realized fencing families need more than just results. They need reflection. They need feedback. They need FencingBuddies.
Because Our Kids Deserve Better Than "I Think I Did Okay"
We were tired of this cycle:
- Compete in a tournament
- Try to remember how it went
- Forget who they fenced
- Lose track of what coach said
- Repeat
It felt like we were investing so much time, energy, money, and emotion… But learning very little from each experience.
FencingBuddies is the system we wished we had when our kids started competing. It’s the system that helps fencers take ownership of their journey — and helps parents and coaches stay aligned and informed.
What Is FencingBuddies, Exactly?
Think of it as your fencing journal, coach notebook, statistics tracker, and AI assistant — all in one clean, easy-to-use platform.
Here’s what it actually does:
Tournament Results? Synced Automatically.
We connect with platforms like FencingTimeLive. You don't have to screenshot results, scribble down opponent names, or try to remember scores from memory. It’s all pulled in automatically. You’ll always have a full record of:
- Wins and losses
- Pool and DE performance
- Opponent names and outcomes
One place. Always there.
Save Notes Before They Disappear
As a parent, I can't count how many times I've heard: "Coach said something after that match… but I forgot." Or: "I meant to write that down, but we left in a rush."
With FencingBuddies, both fencers and coaches can leave notes tied to specific bouts.
I hesitated too much on blade actions
Work on closing distance
The insight is captured and never lost.
Know How You're Actually Doing
With all your results and notes in one place, you can finally see trends that matter.
- Are you consistently struggling in DE rounds?
- Do certain opponents throw you off?
- Are your results improving over time — or stuck in a plateau?
FencingBuddies lets you spot patterns and adjust training accordingly. No more guesswork. No more surprises.
So, Why Does This Matter?
Because we've seen too many young fencers work so hard and never quite get the feedback they need to reach the next level.
And because we've been the parents sitting in the car after a long tournament wondering: "How do we help them grow from this experience?"
Coaches Deserve Tools Too
FencingBuddies gives coaches a simple dashboard to:
- Track all their fencers
- Leave post-bout or post-practice notes
- Guide training plans based on real data
- Provide feedback asynchronously — even after tournaments
This builds accountability, structure, and trust between fencer and coach — and it saves time.
Ready to Try It?
We built FencingBuddies to help families like yours — families who believe that fencing is about more than medals.
We set out to solve a problem we’ve lived through ourselves — as parents trying to support our kids, and as coaches trying to give meaningful feedback that doesn’t get lost.
It's about learning, growing, and working toward something bigger.
