In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and many club spaces closing or on restricted access, the OFA recognizes that many of our members miss their weekly training sessions, and are looking for ways to stay engaged with fellow club and OFA members. The OFA is excited to provide weekly online footwork sessions on Thursdays at 5:00pm.
Registration and Participation
Registration for all sessions can be found here. Zoom links for the sessions will be sent in a confirmation email after registration is complete.
Please note that participants must have a 2021-2022 CFF license (OFA membership or equivalent provincial membership) in order to access the sessions.
OFA Memberships can be purchased here. If you are unsure of which type of membership to purchase, please refer to the OFA Membership Information Page, contact your club/coach, or send an email to web@fencingontario.ca.
To help monitor each session please note the following:
1. Ensure that your display name is the name of the athlete attending the session. We are committed to ensuring the health and safety of all attendees, and require that all identify themselves as such.
2. Attendance is limited to 100 individuals per session, so arrive early to ensure you have a spot! The waiting room will be open 15 minutes prior to each session.
3. These sessions are being recorded. Recordings will only include the instructor spotlight video feed and any audio within the sessions.
Yoann Lebrun

Lebrun has worked diligently first in his home country of France, and more recently at Ontario clubs, to make a difference in the lives of fencers striving to achieve results at every level – beginner, high performance, or veterans. Lebrun believes that each fencer deserves a voice, and works tirelessly with each of his athletes to find their own.
During Lebrun’s coaching career, his athletes have won 8 medals at World Championships, more than 10 medals at zonal championships, and numerous medals in different age categories at National Championships.
