Days & Times
Tuesdays: 7pm
Thursdays: 7pm
Please note that occasionally trainings could be cancelled therefore, if you don’t train regularly, always check times with the club prior to arriving.
If you prefer to observe a class first, and then decide whether or not to sign up, feel free to drop anytime!
Group Training
Every session consist of a group training which starts at 7:00pm and last approx. 1.5 hour. Standard training fee covers only this time.
Please arrive 5 minutes before scheduled class starts.
Group training includes exercises to help develop flexibility, strength and cardio-vascular conditioning. Also covers fencing specific training which consists of group games, footwork, partner drills and bouts.
School Holidays
We usually train during school holidays. Also special training camps, referee and coaching clinics are organized occasionally during school holidays.
How Often should Fencer Practice?
It is expected that fencers will train twice a week as a minimum. Twice weekly training is all about motivation, quality, relationships and effective educational experience. A person training once a week or occasionally is not only progressing painfully slowly but is likely to be deflated. He or she also holds up the group and coaches as requiring extra attention, explanation and time.
We ask that fencer attends at least 80% of sessions (missing no more than 1 in 4 classes).
More advanced fencers wanting to achieved good results at competitions should train at least three times per week. For fencers wanting to practice more, additional classes (including private tuition) could be arranged.
It is important to remember that fencers interested in improving their fencing performance and competitiveness can benefit greatly from additional conditioning exercises outside fencing class. This should by no means replace the regular club trainings, bouting, drilling, footwork, lessons, etc. that the fencer normally does.
Also for a good health it is recommended that children and young people should be physically active every day for at least 60 minutes (and up to several hours), combining moderate and vigorous activity. Fencing trainings will provide this for you.
What to wear?
Participants need to wear comfortable clothes that are suitable for general sport activities and allow complete freedom of movement.
Be sure that you wear shoes appropriate for sporting use with good grip and non-marking soles. Shoes should be clean to avoid dust and moisture build up which could make the floor slippery. Shoes for indoor training shouldn’t be used outside, particularly during a bad whether.
Also bring with you yoga mat.
Fencing Gear
Members are expected to provide their own equipment. A very limited number of sets are available for new fencers to try out the sport. The Club can assist in purchasing fencing equipment.

PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons can be arranged outside group training hours for additional fee. Private lessons are the ideal way to advance fencing skills, create muscle memory, and get individualized instruction and mentoring. Systematic individual lessons are essential for fencers to improve their skills, giving the coach the opportunity to focus on the student's specific strengths and weaknesses. For recreational and competitive fencers, the private lesson is a fundamental component of their training regimen.
Private lessons are offered by arrangement between fencer and the coach. Lessons may be scheduled during or outside of training time for a fee agreed with the coach. One-on-one instruction helps you understand where your weak points are and correct in a shorter time than in a group training. Most competitive level fencers should supplement their weekly group training with at least one weekly private lesson. A standard lesson normally takes 20 minutes. For younger fencers, the private lesson is shorter depending primarily on their physical endurance and attention span.
To achieve the best results and value for money, private lessons should be scheduled with coach in a form of 10 lessons blocks. The cost of individual lessons is not included in group training.
