About
our company

Valour Fencing Club is, to our knowledge, the first Black-owned fencing club in Canadian history. It represents a milestone for diversity, inclusion, and representation in a sport that has traditionally lacked it. Students and families take pride in representing a club built on courage, equity, and respect — values that extend beyond competition.

Founded by Luis Patterson, a fencer and coach with decades of competitive and coaching experience, Valour blends professional training with a vision for community growth.

Valour is more than a club — it’s a new chapter for fencing in Canada. Rooted in history yet driven by innovation, we aim to redefine what it means to train, compete, and represent in this sport. Check what Valour is about and see the impact we’re bringing to the fencing world.
