Imagine this: no more tangled body wires, no broken scoring machines, no mid-bout tech headaches—just you, your opponent, and total wireless freedom. The 2nd generation Calibur isn’t just a gadget update—it’s a bold leap into the future of fencing. You’ll either love it or hate it, but one thing’s for sure: you won’t be able to ignore it. In this article, we’ll break down what makes the new Calibur smarter, sharper, and more powerful—and why it might just be the biggest upgrade your club’s seen in a decade.
The Spark That Changed Everything – How Electric Scoring Transformed Fencing
Electric scoring has been part of fencing since the 1930s, starting with foil and later adopted in épée and sabre. The goal was clear: reduce human error and make scoring more objective. To achieve this, wires were introduced to connect fencers to the scoring machines, ensuring every valid touch was instantly registered. This revolutionized the sport—but the cables also introduced constant hassle, from tangles to breakdowns. And for nearly a century, we just lived with it… until now.
Who’s Behind the Revolution? Meet Calibur Fencing
Calibur Fencing is a young, innovative startup founded by passionate European fencers and engineers who were fed up with outdated, restrictive fencing tech. Their mission? Simple but bold: free the sport from wires and make fencing more modern, accessible, and mobile—without sacrificing precision. Since their founding in the early 2020s, they’ve been working to create a smart, compact, wireless scoring system that puts the entire bout in your pocket.
The team blends technical expertise with deep insider knowledge of fencing, aiming to solve real, on-the-ground problems clubs and fencers face every day.

Freedom on the Strip – Calibur Ushers in a New Era of Fencing
The release of the 2nd generation Calibur marks a true turning point in fencing technology. This isn’t just a new gadget—it’s a complete shift in how we think about the sport. For the first time, fencers can experience competition-level accuracy without wires, bulky machines, or fixed setups—whether in a park, a school gym, or even a living room. With enhanced scoring precision, a replaceable battery, USB-C charging, and support for sabre on the horizon, the Calibur adapts to the real-world needs of fencers and clubs. It doesn’t just modernize fencing—it liberates it, both literally and figuratively.
