About Gladius Fencing

Authentic Italian Tradition. Modern Athletic Excellence.

At Gladius Fencing, we bring the world-renowned pedigree of Italian fencing directly to the heart of Singapore. Founded and led by Fencing Master Igor Celli (Maestro di Scherma), our club is built on a simple yet powerful vision: to cultivate not only skilled athletes, but confident, disciplined, and resilient individuals.

Rooted in the prestigious teachings of the Accademia Nazionale Scherma (Italian Fencing Academy), we specialize in the fast-paced, high-energy discipline of Sabre. We believe that fencing is much more than a sport—it is a physical chess game that sharpens both body and mind.

Meet the Head Coach: Master Igor Celli

With an official title of Maestro di Scherma—the highest coaching qualification in traditional Olympic fencing—Master Igor Celli brings decades of experience, technical precision, and passion to the piste. 

As Head Coach of Gladius, his mission is to mentor each student with personalized attention, guiding complete beginners to fall in love with the sport, and inspiring advanced fencers to push past their competitive boundaries.
