These beginners' classes cover the main aspects of fencing and are ideal for people with no previous knowledge of the sport. The participants are introduced to fencing rules, traditions, techniques and tactics. While learning the types of attack and defence fencers exercise in pairs or with the coach. Acquired skills are practiced further during the free fencing bouts.

The course runs on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings. Usually you can swap between classes which started on the same week, so it's not a problem if you cannot make it one evening! These classes are ideal if you wish to relieve stress and get some exercise after a day in the office: learn fencing, get fit and make new friends!
