Excalibur Community Fencing Club

Beginners:

Adults (18 – 80) Friday, 7:00 – 8:30pm
Juniors (8 -17) Saturday, 2:30 – 4:00pm

There are three fencing weapons: Foil, Sabre and Épée. We generally recommend that beginners start with Foil. We only fence during the school terms (see below for dates). It is best to start at the beginning of a term to get full benefit from your beginners’ course. It may be possible to start part-way through a term, but please email or call us first to check.

The first lesson is free so that you can have a go and see if you like the sport. We have all the equipment required to allow a beginner to start fencing, so there is no initial cost of buying equipment to get started. For safety reasons we require you to wear enclosed shoes (e.g. trainers), long trousers and T-shirt that tucks in, and bring a drink bottle if you have one.

Contact us by e-mail for more details using the Enquiries form.
