Fencing for all
The club occasionally runs free taster sessions - these are a great way to experience fencing before committing to a beginner course.
We run taster sessions for children and adults. The adult sessions are suitable for people aged 16-75. The children's sessions are suitable for young people aged 10-15.
All body types, genders, and levels of athletic ability are welcome.
What we offer
We are a British Fencing registered club, which means all of our coaches are professionally trained to deliver classes safely and expertly.
The taster sessions offer a crash-course in the modern Olympic sport of fencing. Over two hours, you will learn:
- How to move like a fencer
- How swords evolved throughout history
- The basics of attacking your opponent
- How to defend yourself
What you need
No special equipment is required. The club provides all the necessary fencing kit. However, please do bring:
- Comfortable sports clothing (e.g. t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms)
- Indoor trainers
- Water bottle (a drinking fountain is also available on-site)
