Fencing is an individual sport which is fast and athletic but also great fun!

It is enjoyed by people of all ages, and is excellent for keeping fit.

Many who do not enjoy team sports find they enjoy fencing.

It helps boost self-confidence, develops general fitness, balance and co-ordination and uses lots of calories!

Fencing can be enjoyed as a social activity and/or as a competitive sport.

Fencing has a good safety record and provided the correct equipment is used and the correct safety rules are followed, even minor injuries are unusual.
