Offering you the opportunity to experience the Olympic sport of Fencing.
So you want to learn to fence? Whether fencing is something you've always wanted to try, you've recently taken part in a taster session, or you just want to try something new, we're sure you'll enjoy our beginners courses. All courses are led by one of our qualified coaches, and include full kit hire and insurance as part of the price.
More dates for our 2020 courses will be added shortly! If you're interested in learning to fence do contact us as we can schedule in new beginners courses depending on demand!
Our club is split into three sections based on age: Musketeers (7-10), Juniors (10-14) and Seniors (15+). Courses in all sections start on the intake nights detailed above.

Week 1 - Learning the fundamentals of Fencing
Week 2 - Refining your attacks
Week 3 - Strengthening your defence
Week 4 - Tactics of Fencing - applying what you know during a bout
