Swindon Fencing Club, Beginners Course

Our Beginnners' course is an ideal way to start Fencing. The six week course will involve a mixture of instruction and sparring during the session. The course aim is to introduce the fundamentals of fencing technique to the novice, including footwork, blades skills such is parries, disengagement, cutover and compound attacks. The course looks primarily at foil, but time will be spent looking at the epee and sabre to fully immerse the novice into the discipline of fencing.

By the end of the course beginners will have a good foundation in the art of fencing and will be able to decide which weapon to pursue be it foil, epee or sabre.

The course provides the equipment needed, insurance, a first aider, CRB checked, professional coaching staff, and a club within which the beginner may test their skills. This is the best way to start Fencing.
