Private Sword Fighting Lesson
What is the Experience?
Want to try the Olympic sport of fencing? Try a private lesson with an experienced fencing instructor as you learn one of the oldest sports in the world. This is the best way to get a taste of fencing, where you’ll learn the art of attack and defence in preparation for a duel with your instructor!
If you've ever wanted to test your skill with a sword, then a fencing lesson is the perfect excuse! Your fencing experience will be a one on one, private lesson with a experienced and qualified fencing instructor, who's sure to get your sword fighting technique a cut above the rest!
We begin with a safety briefing, then a warm up and stretch before learning the 'en guard' position, mobility, the lunge and how to handle the foil. You will then be shown the art of attack and defence before moving on to counter offensive actions that will prepare you to do battle - you might even be ready to test yourself in a duel with your experienced instructor!
The mental as well as physical aspect of the sport means that strength is not as important as cunning and technique, so women are just as capable and in most cases, will even be able to beat more powerful men!
