BEGINNERS

If you're new to the sport of fencing or just want to give it a try then come along to a beginners session.

All clubs offer instruction in the first, basic steps and have equipment for loan at no cost.

To start with you will be taken through simple warm-up routines followed by traditional footwork. After that you'll get a weapon in your hand, a set of fencing 'whites', and a mask.

Soon you'll be advancing, retreating, lunging, parrying, cutting and thrusting with other beginners learning the sabre.

To the right is a list of clubs that offer beginner instruction as well as information on where and when they meet.
