What is Fencing?

Fencing is an international and Olympic sport that provides high levels of physical and mental stimuli to outwit your opponent. Fencing has existed since the ancient Greek and Roman times with modern styles having their roots in the renaissance era. It's a fantastic way to improve balance, co-ordination and flexibility.

 

Does it Hurt?

No. We stopped trying to kill each other quite a while ago. Modern fencing uses pads, jackets and thin, flexible "blades" tipped with a mechanical button to score points. Once you've held a modern epee you'll understand how the hardest impacts feel like no more than a jab from someone's finger and the more common injuries are the same as any other sport: the odd blister, an occasional sprained ankle and sore muscles!

What Do I need to bring?

Just yourself. Comfortable clothes and shoes for sport, a top with a least short sleeves, and a water bottle to keep hydrated!

How do I get started?
