  Adults beginners' course

 

 Have you wanted to give this wonderful sport a go?

 

Fencing is a vibrant combat sport suitable for people of all ages. It helps you boost your metabolism and develop a toned body while having fun on the piste. Fencing is a strategic game; therefore, it is suitable for people of all shapes and heights. Our professional coaches will provide you with all the knowledge for you to develop your skills. 

 

The session begins with a warm-up, which is extremely vital in any sport, and leads to the footwork tutorial, where you can learn to take on the "en-garde" position, fencing steps, and most importantly, distance-keeping. After the footwork is complete, you can enjoy the best part of the session, where you can fence on the piste with other beginners. All fencing equipment is provided by the club; you just need a pair of trainers and comfortable fitness wear.

Why do we choose to fence?

 

Fencing is a unique type of sport. I invite you to join the fencing community, which is spread all around the world, and discover where hidden the uniqueness of this respectable sport:

 

  1. It is a single combat that does not harm the body and the head as badly as the other sports from the same category. You can get a few bruises from a single training or competition (serious traumas and body damage happen extremely rarely), but that is all

  2. There are no age barriers-you can fence your entire life from 8-60 or even older. Fencing is also equally suitable for both men and women who challenge themselves and test their physical and tactical abilities.  

  3. Do you want to lose weight? Great! You won’t have to force yourself. You just put on the fencing kit and the mask, enter the match and while you are busy with the tactical fight, you don’t notice how you move back and forth as you are motivated to win. You don’t feel tired as your brain is busy with something else and parallel to this, you lose calories. It has been calculated that for one competition an active fencer can lose up to 1000 calories.

  4. You want a beautiful and slim body. In fencing, you use the muscular mass that you rarely use throughout a normal day.

  5. In addition to all the physical development, you go through you also change the way you think strategically and tactically, also your philosophy and how you see life.
