 | About Us Our instructors are experienced, fun to work with, and completely professional. We all have enhanced CRB Certificates, and are British Academy of Fencing (BAF) qualified fencing instructors, with £5 million public liability insurance. Fencing can help the holistic development of each child; not only with the physical aspect of the sport, but knowledge, understanding and communication as the teaching programme advances with each lesson. It also helps children with their motor skills, having to use hand-eye co-ordination. |
Service we can offer
We offer group fencing classes for girls and boys aged 9+ to learn Sword Fencing, either as an after school activity, or part of the school curriculum. A mixture of both can work very well.
Sword Fencing can be one of the 4 sports in GCSE PE, (Key Process A - Developing skills for all game activities).
Sessions typically last one hour, for approximately 14 students. All the fencing equipment will be provided by us.
Why is Sword Fencing a good sport for schools?- The chance for students who find team sports difficult to cope with, to engage in a high quality physical educational sport.
- Students are taught to develop specific techniques that they have to perform with consistent control and finesse to enable them to compete at a higher level.
- Boy's and girl's of different age groups can compete as equals.
- Students will select and apply their skills and tactics within the discipline of the sport.
- The opportunity to positively influence any students experience of Physical Education in the school.

Testimonial
"Sword Fencing has really changed my life. I'm not a sporty person and the sports on offer at my school I have never been any good at. But I took up sword fencing and I love it! It's great fun and I have a lot of medals and I have also made a lot of new friends. Derek the fencing coach is great, he gives us individual coaching to help us with our individual problems in the sport. It just gives me something to do in a sport I really enjoy. I would recommend it to anyone".
