Fencing classes for children

Kids fencing epee by Leo

These classes are suitable for children and teens, boys and girls who have never experienced fencing before as well as for those who have some basic fencing knowledge.

The classes are run by a team of highly experienced coaches, who teach kids about fencing in a lively and fun atmosphere. Each class is taught using plenty of games to improve speed and co-ordination, develop specific fencing skills and tactical thinking. Kids learn fencing blade and foot work, rules of courtesy during a fencing bout and refereeing skills - all that of course while doing plenty of sword fighting!

We provide an exciting and safe environment to learn the sport and we encourage children to stay with the club as they grow. At the more advanced stages they can take part in various competitions fencing for the club, their school, borough and maybe even the country. Our coaches, all of whom have international competitive experience, are always there to help and motivate!

Boys and girls train together. At the beginner level all fencing equipment is provided, children only need to bring a t-shirt, trainers and track suit bottoms.
