Bringing Fencing into the Future

I'm Jared Smith — an elite fencer and engineer. After 17 years in the sport and 5 seasons with Notre Dame Fencing, I've lived every corner of the fencing world — from national podiums to grueling practice strips. And I've seen what's missing.

While other sports have embraced performance data, video systems, and recovery insights, fencing still relies on instinct and outdated tools. We train hard — but not always smart. We compete fiercely — but often without feedback.

FencR is here to change that.

FencR is more than an app. It's a platform to modernize the sport — giving athletes, coaches, and teams the tools to track, reflect, and grow. From personalized performance metrics to coachable video feedback to recovery insights, we're building the infrastructure fencing needs to thrive.

This isn't about chasing trends. It's about building what we wish we had and what we need.

It's time fencing caught up. It's time we trained with purpose.

It's time we built the future of the sport — together.
