PLEASE NOTE: our club sessions are for ages 12 and over.

Come along to our Come and Try session for our Tuesday club, and have a stab at fencing!

Fencing is a fun and challenging sport that is adaptable for all ages, fitness levels, and mobility needs.

PLEASE NOTE:The $20 fee is a deposit, and individuals who attend the session will receive a full refund.

A high percentage of the fencing community is neurodivergent, so this is very much a space where you are free and encouraged to bring your true self.

We are dedicated to providing a safe space for Trans and Gender Diverse individuals where they can learn new skills, make friends, and participate in a fun sport without fear of discrimination and harassment.

You do not need to be fit or flexible - fencing is as much about strategy as it is about the physical actions, and can be paced to suit the individuals.

The plan:

• Group introductions
• About the swords - target area and scoring
• Group warm-up (a gentle warm-up that can be adjusted to suit everyone) for injury prevention
• Fencing footwork basics
• Safety gear on
• How to aim and hit your target
• Introduction to blade skills
• Bouting (fencing with your classmates)
• Wrap-up

You bring:

• Drink bottle (we have cups if you forget)
• Trousers with some stretch
• Comfy sneakers

We provide:

• Safety equipment
• Fencing swords
• Friendly, enthusiastic, accredited coaches who love introducing newcomers to fencing

If you enjoy the session, you can register as a club member for the term and we will introduce you to the foundations of fencing with the Epee.
