Feedack from the people who attended beginners course


... I have truly enjoyed the lessons and I especially admired your pedagogical skills on a sport which requires a lot of persistence from the beginners. I had fenced for 6 weeks ( two hours a week) on another club and I still had no idea about fencing before I joined your classes.

Thank you for making me feel that fencing is really my sport and I will carry on with a lot of enthusiasm.

The competitive element the sport added new level of intensity which was very exciting. For me it would have been good to experience this sooner although i appreciate that as a group we may not have had the skills or techniques to make this meaningful. As a taster course i feel we did cover alot of ground a have acquired a pretty good insight into the sport. I think that the length of the course in terms of six weeks is just right. I think on the whole it was an excellent introduction into the sport and very good value for money and have already recommended it to others.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for hosting what has been a very enjoyable and interesting fencing class. I've had a lot of fun and now fully appreciate the level of fitness required to make a reasonably good fencer. You guys make it look too easy!

I think that you judged it (the course) about right - it's important that people get a feel for the sport rather than feeling like it's a type of military training... That said I would enjoy the development of more specific technical skills in the future. I will be continuing fencing and if the opportunity to fence in Siberia ever arises my name will be on the list. Thank you for your hard work.
