Adult beginners
It's never too late to start your fencing journey
If you've ever been intrigued by the idea of wielding a sword in combat, Haverstock Fencing Club can introduce you to the Olympic sport of epee fencing. Our highly qualified British Fencing registered coaches will teach you all of the basics including: how to use the equipment safely, footwork, blade skills, and the rules of the game.
Haverstock offers a number of options for those looking to take up the sport: individual taster lessons, short group courses and for those willing to make a longer term commitment, a monthly membership specially tailored for beginner adults.
Whichever route you chose, we provide all of the equipment that you will require. All you need to bring is light sportswear which covers your legs, a water bottle and a positive attitude.

Individual lessons & group courses
For those who simply want to try fencing, Haverstock offers one-on-one taster lessons with our qualified coaches on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. These are designed to give a feel for the sport, teach all of the basic skills and give newcomers the confidence to join the club if they decide to continue.
Individual lessons are currently priced at £25 per half-hour session.
When numbers permit, Haverstock organises six-week courses adult beginner courses for between six and twelve adults. These provide a comprehensive introduction to the sport on an accelerated time frame, and will take newcomers all the way from learning the basic moves to sparring with metal weapons.
Our Adult beginners' courses are priced at £120.
