We run 2 or 3 four week beginner courses throughout the year. We accept people generally from around the age of 13 – there is no upper age limit. The 4 week taster course costs £60 and full (non refundable) payment in advance is required to guarantee you a place on a first come basis. 

During the course, you will be introduced to the tactics, techniques and rules of foil fencing working in pairs or with one of our qualified coaches. At the end of each session there will be some free time to have some fencing bouts. Our classes are small, usually up to 8 participants so you can be sure of receiving individual attention to develop your fencing skills, Once you have finished the course, you can continue to attend the club if you wish and will receive further coaching to develop your fencing technique but there is no pressure to continue, we are just happy for you to give this great sport a try.

All fencing equipment will be provided but please wear sensible sports clothing: trainers (squash or indoor tennis shoes are ideal) and long tracksuit-type bottoms are a must (fencing in shorts is not allowed). Wyndley offers excellent facilities with changing rooms and showers on the premises.

If you are interested in joining one of our courses, please get in contact with us and we can provide more details.
