Membership
Once you have completed your initial beginners course (or if you are already an accomplished fencer) we will be delighted to invite you to become a member of our club. We currently have around 300 members including both social and competitive fencers. We pay particular attention to members who only recently started to fence: through on-going group training sessions we ensure that you learn and progress to the advanced stages of the sport. We are the only club in London to offer group lessons to advanced beginners and intermediate fencers. The sessions are structured and include warm up, footwork, bladework or tactical lesson and free fencing. (timetable) To become a member of London Fencing Club you will need to pay a one off joining fee followed by the monthly subscription once you start training.

You can select the level of subsciption which corresponds to the amount of training you'd like to undertake. The subscription is paid by standing order and entitles you to:

We recommend that the recent beginners should attend 2-3 training sessions a week during the intermediate stage. This will enable you to progress and build up your skills rather than just maintain the existing level. Below are the sessions we currently suggest for the recent beginners.
The classes take place thoughout the year with the only short break during the Christmas/New Year period.
