You can start fencing at any age and soon reap the benefits: strengthening thighs, buttocks and stomach; reduced weight and increased agility. A certain amount of dedication will be required but it's worth it! We offer a variety of beginner level classes which will give you a good start:

1 Weekly class, 6 pm - 7 pm
2 Weekly class, 7 pm - 8 pm
3 Saturday workshops Porthos. 12 pm - 3 pm
4 Individual tuition course

Our beginners' classes cover the basics of fencing and are the ideal taster of the sport. They're suitable for people without previous fencing experience, or for those who fenced long time ago and would like to get back to it. The participants are introduced to fencing rules, traditions, techniques and tactics. While learning the blade work, fencers exercise in pairs or with the coach. Acquired skills are practiced further during the fencing bouts.

All elements are taught slowly and repeated often to ensure that students grasp the move - as well as understanding when it should be executed! By the end of the course the participants should have acquired general knowledge of the sport and feel competent to bout with the more experienced fencers.

The beginners' courses are suitable for anyone aged between 16 and 70, male or female, right or left handed! (There are also separate courses for children).

All fencing kit is provided, you'll just need to bring a t-shirt, track suit bottoms and trainers.
