Start Fencing
|
How do I start?
With the help of a coach it is easy to learn the basic skills in small groups. This is a good way to learn or one can progress at one's own pace taking individual lessons off a coach. There are also training days to help improve your skills. Alternatively, short courses can be arranged to meet the demand of various groups.
|
Am I too young or too old?
You can enjoy fencing at almost any age as a child ( typically 8 to 12), teenager, adult or veteran (40+, 50+ and 60+ categories).
|
What do I need?
The club has a range of kit for beginners and novices but as you progress towards competitive level fencing you may want to have some of your own. A list of suppliers can be found on the British Fencing website or ask your club coach |
Which weapon?
Foil is typically used for beginners but nowadays epee or sabre may be used instead. Once you have mastered basic attacks and defence you can soon move on to another weapon and eventually decide which one or more you wish to progress with.
