Anyone who’s seen Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, crossing swords with the villain of Die Another Day (while a leather-corseted Madonna looks on no less), knows how entirely badass the sport can be. You might not have the sword skills of the dashing Brit, but you can get a taste of the sport at one of Toronto’s premier fencing clubs. Battle your bestie at a two-person private lesson, or try a month of beginner classes for $95. Known for youth, intermediate and high-performance tournaments, the club hosts three locations across the GTA.
