Free Trial for Beginners
For beginners, we offer regular try-out sessions for people who are keen to try the sport and see if fencing is right for them. These occur during the first week of each term (See Beginner Intake dates below). You may find some additional free sessions, as well as Beginner Courses, offered under Special Activities.
We will usually ask for size information to provide you with appropriate equipment.
Please note that “12+” includes all ages teen and adult. “U12” includes ages 7-11.
Term 4 Beginner Intake
We are able to take beginners at the start of each term. You will receive a basic introduction to the sport then transition quickly into “real fencing” with your chosen training group.
The first Introduction Session is free, but please register in advance using Trybooking:
