Tiverton Swords Fencing Club

Welcome to the Tiverton fencing club! Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced fencer we would love for you to join us.

Many of us remember watching sword fights on television or in films and thinking to ourselves, "I wish I could do that!" The simple fact is - you can.

Fencing keeps you trim, improves your confidence and is guaranteed to set you a cut above the rest.

Fencing is an exciting and complex sport, involving both mind and body in training reflexes, agility, confidence, balance, accuracy and strategy.

It's never too late to start! Many a veteran fencer will vouch for the worth of experience and a degree of cunning against younger and more agile opponents.

When

Currently our club meets each Wednesday night, with a beginner session from 8-9pm and an intermediate session from 9-10pm.

We are also meeting on Saturday mornings from 9-11am but on an irregular basis. Please check the Events calendar for details.

Where

The venue is the Moorhayes Community Centre, Tiverton. Saturday fencing is at the British Legion Club in the centre of Tiverton. For more details, please see maps of the venues.

Should I book

No need - you're welcome to turn up on the day. If you want to attend one of our beginner courses please contact us for availability.

Cost

£4 per session. We generally won't charge for your first session while you give fencing a try. The 8 week beginners courses we run cost £32.

What should I bring

A light top, tracksuit trousers and a drink. Fencing kit will be provided. Oh - don't forget your sense of humour!
