So there isn’t a curriculum?

Axis absolutely has training content, but in the document I’m using here there is no published, itemized “Beginner curriculum” (no week-by-week plan or official fundamentals checklist). That’s why I can’t quote an official curriculum document to you from the materials provided.

What is stated in the document is that Axis is a professional sabre-only club and focuses on physical + technical training and competitions, with an emphasis on mental resilience (“anti-pressure”) and cultural learning, and the club principle: “We build champions with sportsmanship.”

If you want the official curriculum/level requirements (Beginner → Intermediate → Competitive), the best way is to ask the front desk/coaches directly:

• Tel: +1 (647) 929-3223
• Email: axisfencingclubca@gmail.com
• WhatsApp/WeChat: 16479293223

If you tell me your child’s age and experience, I can also suggest what to ask for (e.g., “Which footwork/blade skills must be passed to move to Intermediate?”).

What makes it professional?

Axis is described as “professional” in a few concrete, document-supported ways:

• Specialized focus (sabre-only): Axis is a pure sabre club (专门纯佩剑), which usually means the program, coaching, and training system are built specifically for sabre.

• High-level coaching team: The club has coaches from Europe and Asia, including:

  • Valeriy Shturbabin (Senior Advisor): former head coach of the Ukraine and Turkey national teams, and coach of Olympic/World medalist Olga Kharlan.
  • Oleh Shturbabin (Head Coach): former head coach of the Ukrainian national fencing team, with extensive world/European championship coaching results.
  • Elliott Empereur: French national team strength & conditioning coach (and also an accomplished sabre athlete).
  • Other experienced coaches listed (Sean, Nikita, Long Yu, Ko Jin).

• Proven competitive pipeline: Axis is stated to be an important training base for Canadian national men’s and women’s sabre athletes, and has produced national team members over the past 3 years. They also note strong results like Charles Wang placing 3rd at the North American Cup (Dec 2021) in junior.

• Serious training environment & scale: The facility expanded to 10,000 sq ft, with 14 pistes + 2 “gold” pistes, plus dedicated strength training area and separate change rooms—positioned as the largest pure sabre club in Canada.

If you share your child’s age and goal (recreational vs competitive), I can suggest whether Baby/Beginner or the New Player trial package is the best way to start.
