And you can start your sabre career at any age.

WHAT YOU NEED TO START
Running and sabre have many points of similarity as physical activities.
Dress like you're going for a run, bring a water bottle, maybe a towel and you're ready to start.
Most clubs are happy to loan beginners equipment until they decide to buy their own so there's no need to splash out just to get started
