Beginners' Courses: An Introduction To Fencing
Anyone over five can fence at our club, regardless of sex or age - many people take up fencing in their fifties and beyond. Opponents can compete on equal terms, as strength is not a requirement. Fencing is really a sport where skill, technique and guile will usually win. Fencing is often referred to as "chess with a sword"!
The basic skills can be acquired during our six-session beginners' course. Here you will learn enough about fencing to get you started in the sport. This course is also an excellent refresher for people who have previous experience of fencing.
All equipment and kit (including electric fencing) will be provided free of charge for both sessions, so a tracksuit, trainers, t-shirt and enthusiasm is all that you will need to bring.
At all our classes we welcome first time fencers. Our beginners will join in with the group warm up session and then will be given private tuition by one of our coaches to ensure you will pick up the sport with ease.
You may take your 6 sessions as and when you wish: from once a week to completing the beginners course within 2 weeks if preferred. Once you have completed a 6 session beginners course you then may attend any of our sessions on an intermediate level.
Beginners are welcome at the following sessions:
Monday: 7.30pm - 9.30pm
Tuesday: 7.30pm - 9.30pm
Wednesday: 7.30pm - 9.30pm
Thursday: 7.30pm - 9.30pm
