Welcome to Royal Tunbridge Wells Fencing Club – a friendly, inclusive place to learn and enjoy the fun, fast and fascinating sport of epee fencing. Founded by three-time Olympian Steven Paul in 2005, RTWFC offers a full range of classes on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Whether you are new to this sport of quick reflexes and tactical thinking – perhaps inspired by the excitement of Paris 2024, or an experienced fencer looking to step up to the next level, we offer classes that will fit your aspirations. Take a look at our timetable to find out about our classes and courses, visit our Roll of honour to see a list of our most recent medallists or read our latest post here.
