As Malaysia continues to establish itself as a growing hub for international fencing tournaments, including high-profile international events like the ACC Cadet Cup, U23 Asia Championships and some exciting local tournaments with international participants like the Malaysian Open and the Negeri Sembilan Youth Challenge, fencers from across Asia and beyond are discovering a key resource to enhance their competition experience, Starmax.
Whether it’s last-minute gear needs, top-tier fencing equipment, or just a convenient pickup point on arrival, Starmax has become a go-to outfitter for visiting fencers. Conveniently located at the Touche Fencing Club in Jaya Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya, just outside the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Starmax offers easy access to quality fencing gear, including FIE Grade, for competitors flying in from all over the region.
“Fencers love the convenience,” said Coach Mok, Director of Coaching at Touche Fencing Club. “They can place their orders online, and we have the equipment ready for them when they arrive in Malaysia. It’s one less thing to worry about before a big tournament.”
Starmax answers the question, where to buy fencing equipment if I have a last-minute problem with a blade, wire or mask.
Starmax’s strategic placement within Touche Fencing Club gives it an edge over other retailers. The location is not just a store, it’s part of a vibrant and growing fencing community. This makes it particularly attractive for international athletes looking to stay sharp ahead of competition.
Touche Fencing Club, known for its welcoming atmosphere and strong coaching staff, also hosts open sparring sessions around the dates of major tournaments. These sessions offer an invaluable opportunity for visiting fencers to shake off travel fatigue and adapt to local conditions.
“The open sparring sessions are popular because they offer a high-quality training environment,” Coach Mok added. “We welcome all levels and all clubs, it’s about building the community and giving athletes the best possible prep before they step onto the piste.”
Events like the ACC Cadet Cup and the Malaysian Open not only bring a high level of competition to Malaysian soil, but also reflect the sport’s growing regional appeal. In recent years, Malaysia has become a frequent stop on the international fencing circuit, attracting teams from as far afield as Japan, Korea, India, the Middle East, and Europe.
For those travelling from overseas, the ability to order gear in advance through Starmax’s website and simply collect it at Touche Fencing Club on arrival is a major advantage. Whether it’s a replacement blade, a new lamé, or a full kit for an up-and-coming cadet, fencers can arrive in Malaysia knowing they’ll have what they need to compete.
“Coming to Malaysia for the tournament was such a smooth experience and a big part of that was having Starmax right there at Touche. We pre-ordered our gear online, picked it up when we arrived, and my daughter even got to join the open sparring sessions.” Linda who is a parent of a U14 fencer from Singapore
Touche’s central location in Jaya Shopping Centre also adds to the convenience factor surrounded by restaurants, accommodations, and public transport, it’s an ideal base for athletes, coaches, and families.
With a mix of high-level competition, community spirit, and athlete-focused services, Malaysia is quickly becoming a must-visit destination on the fencing calendar. And thanks to Starmax and the team at Touche Fencing Club, fencers have a home away from home where they can gear up, spar, and get ready to shine.
