Cavalier School of Fencing Beginners Courses

Cavs' Beginners courses are suited to those who have never fenced before or have not fenced for a long time. Participants must be aged 14+ years.

This 10 week course covers footwork, blade work, skills development and bouting - introducing you to all 3 fencing weapons (foil, epee and sabre).

The course cost is inclusive of...

• 6 weeks of dedicated beginners lessons (running 2:30-4:30 pm)
• 4 weeks joining the main club group for training and electric fencing (from 2:00pm to 4:30pm)
