TASTER SESSIONS & BEGINNER COURSES
Always wanted to try fencing? Join one of our taster sessions or beginner courses and we will turn you from complete beginner into a Jedi/Musketeer/Zorro (delete as appropriate).
Our coaches will teach you the basics of footwork, blade technique and give you the skills to start enjoying fencing. We provide all the equipment, all you need is trainers, a t-shirt, tracksuit bottoms and towel. We also recommend you bring a water bottle as fencing is thirsty work.
Our taster sessions are a quick-start guide to fencing with everything you need to know to get on the piste and fencing crammed into 45 mins. After learning how to stand, advance and retreat our coaches will teach you the three basic moves then get you on the piste to fence with other novice fencers. If you enjoy your taster session why not sign up for one of our beginner courses?
Our beginner courses are typically 4 weeks long and run regularly throughout the year. We have separate courses for children (8-13 yrs) and adults (14+). For young children ages 5-7 yrs, our Spartans class is perfect and no better way to start than a 4 weeks course where the attendee gets to keep their specialist equipment of a mask, sword vest and glove.
You don’t need to do a taster session before starting a beginner course.
