Starting fencing
Fencing is a wonderful sport for children, helping them to develop hand-eye coordination, balance and core strength along with valuable life skills such as self-discipline, patience and good sportsmanship.
Prospective child members do not need any prior experience of the sport to join our club; almost all of our students start from square one.
We provide all of the fencing equipment required and upon joining, all children receive individual instruction on how to use it safely before joining in the action.
