Today, London Fencing club is starting classes for beginners.

The beginners’ fencing classes cover the basics of fencing and are the ideal taster of the sport.

The classes are going to be for people aged from 15 to 60.

London fencing club are also making their classes suitable for people who haven’t previously taken fencing lessons, or for those who fenced a long time ago and would like to return to the sport.

The participants of the beginners’ classes are introduced to fencing rules, traditions, techniques and tactics.

While learning the bladework, fencers exercise in pairs or with the coach. Acquired skills are practised further during the fencing bouts.

So why not let your “En guarde” down and go along.
