Have-A-Go

Ever wanted to try the Olympic Sport of the sword – Fencing?
Or perhaps you just want to channel young enthusiasm for hitting each other to a safer outlet.

These have-a-go sessions are just $15 per person, all equipment provided, suitable for ages 7-17.
We split the sessions into age-appropriate classes, and by the end of the session all ages will be attacking, parrying and riposting in real fencing bouts.
You have three sabre sessions in Nunawading to choose from:
Sept 27th – Saturday morning
Sept 31st – Tuesday afternoon
Oct 3rd – Friday afternoon

We are also offering a Teens epee session at our Mitcham venue:
Oct 1st – Wednesday evening

All you need to do is dress for sport (track pants, sneakers and t-shirt), and bring a bottle of water to drink.
You may also want your phone for a quick selfie with your sabre!

Artistic Fencing

If you are more interested in playing a role in Star Wars or Macbeth than you are in the sport, we now have the perfect option for you.

Suitable for all ages 12+, you can join our special have-a-go session in the school holidays, or sign up for the Term 4 course.

New! Saturday Family Day

Our Saturday session, July 19th, is now Family Friendly, with the opportunity for adults to join in the fun as well!

If you are aged 18+, sign yourself up to the Saturday session, and you too can learn the art of fencing at the same time as the kids.

On Saturdays we also have a small space set aside where siblings and younger children who don’t want to fence can play and socialise while you enjoy a new activity. Please note this is not a formal childcare arrangement.

New! Artistic Fencing

If you are more interested in playing a role in Star Wars or Macbeth than you are in the sport, we now have the perfect option for you.

Artistic (theatrical or performance) fencing requires a little more maturity, so this class is strictly for ages 12+, but adults are welcome to join as well.

We hope to offer a number of artistic fencing short courses in the second half of the year, so if this is your thing come and check it out!

We will once again be offering our fencing winter school sport class in terms 2 and 3 of 2026.

This is aimed primarily at homeschool students, but all school students are welcome if they are able to make this time slot. You can talk to your school PE teacher about including Fencing as a school sport at your school.

Sign up for an 8 week introduction to the sport of fencing, starting May 1st, or the full 12 week school sport experience.
This class is suitable for complete beginners, primarily aimed at high school aged students but mature grade 5/6 can also attend.

All equipment is provided, or we can assist participants to buy their own inexpensive equipment if they prefer.

Each class runs from 3:15pm to 4:45pm, Friday afternoons in the Nunawading Community Hub. There are drinking fountains and change rooms on site, a cafe and plenty of parking accessed via Esdale Street.

Participants also have the option to compete in the Winter Schools League fencing events.

Registrations open in March.

Full list of dates: May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, June 12, 19, 26, July 17, 24, 31, Aug 7th.
No fencing on the King’s Birthday Long Weekend or during school holidays.

Our popular school holiday “Have A Go” sessions are back this Easter! You can now sign up online here: https://www.trybooking.com/CZWED

We will also be running a friendly club sabre competition at our Nunawading venue on April 5th for all fencers 12+. This is free for club members, starts 10am sharp, and you might like to stay afterward for coffee or lunch in the cafe area.

Mid-holidays will see many club members attending the state Veterans (40+), B-grade and Novice (<2 years fencing) competitions. If you need information on this, don’t hesitate to talk to your coach or use the What’s App groups.

High School Epeeists should check out the Schools League Pre-Season Camp. Beginners are welcome, although if you are not already affiliated with Fencing Victoria you will need to do that before you can register.
You can read more here about Schools League Fencing.

No fencing during the Easter long weekend. We hope everyone enjoys a well-earned break, and we will see you back for the start of term 2 from Tuesday April 22nd.

Saturday September 14th is World Fencing Day.

We are celebrating with our ever-popular Bring a Friend day!

All club members are invited to being a friend with them to the final training session of term from Saturday 14th. Fencers will be responsible for helping their friend get into the fencing kit, learn the basic moves, and then get to fence with them.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

As many of our sessions are now at full capacity, we are very pleased to be able to offer a new class in term 3 2024.

The new class will be a Swordplay session, aimed at primary school children in grades 2-6, run by our Head Coach Lisa Lagergren. Lisa will also be available for individual lessons after 6:30pm.

In the past we have found parents often have trouble getting to activities after school at 4:30pm, so this session will run 5pm-6:30pm similar to our Friday session.

Please note that the popular Friday session is now closed to new fencers aged under 12.

We are taking orders for club T-shirts and Hoodies.

Orders close June 16th.

You can pick up an order form at training, or simply e-mail your order to coach@whitehorsechevaliers.org.au with your required size(s).
