Junior Beginners’ courses

Whether you’re quick of limb or fast of thought, learning to fence will stimulate your brainbox in fiendishly fun ways. Of the three swords used in the modern sport of fencing, the epee is a brilliant weapon to start with as there are no tricky rules and no limit to the target area – so, ultimately, you’ll be able to hit your opponent almost anywhere you like!

Each session consists of a general warm-up, footwork, technical exercises and sword fights! All equipment is provided, just wear tracksuit bottoms and trainers – and bring a drink.

If you’re not sure if you want to commit to the whole course before even trying the sport, that’s no problem: just pay for first ‘taster’ session then see how you feel. The cost per session is £10.

Our new Monday 630-730pm beginners’ courses are for under 11s and under 14s. Term will start on 8th April and end on 15th July (excluding 6th & 27th May, when the club will be closed). Our new Sunday under-11 beginners’ courses will begin on 14th April and finish on 14th July (excluding 26th May & 2nd June), taking place from 930-1030am.

Fees

Termly fees are paid upfront. However, we do offer taster sessions for newcomers – these cost £10 for a one-hour class; if your child decides to continue, you then pay the remainder of the term’s fees into the RTWFC account – sort code: 30-90-90 number: 37277468.
