This is a unique opportunity to enjoy high quality and cost effective coaching to supplement and support your club training in a non-partisan environment. Sessions are targeted at committed fencers of all standards who will benefit from learning alongside competitive fencers in a wider group than they will normally meet week to week at their club sessions.

You will need to bring a willingness to learn and the motivation to work!
