PLEASE NOTE: This session is for ages 15 and over.

We have a Come and Try session for ages 12 to 15 from 11:40 am until 12:50 pm. Parents and carers are welcome to join that session with their young person/people if they want to do a session together. :)

Come along to our ages 15+ Come and Try session for our Saturday 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. 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.

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.

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.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you are considering joining the Saturday club as a member in 2027, Saturday club sessions run from 10 am - 1 pm, with some fencers attending the full session, and others opting to finish up around midday.

The club is for ages 12 and over, and we have a broad range of ages from 12 through to fencers in their fifties. Fencing is adaptable to suit the individual, and you can fence well into your seventies and eighties.
