The 8 Principal points for starting a

SCHOOL FENCING CLUB

 

   1.      Sound out Staff. Do you have a member of staff who has or would like to learn to fence. This would be a great asset to the club as it gives a permanent fencing presence at the school.

   2.      Sound out pupils. Do you have pupils who already  fence. Do you have pupils who would like to learn to fence.

   3.      Arrange for a demonstration.  A demonstration or a taster  session can be arranged for an assembly-lunch period-after school. This will give both you and the master an idea of the enthusiasm.

   4.      Time-tabling. A timetable for the autumn term can be drafted subject to the availability of student numbers and a venue.

   5.      Types of courses. The type of course that suits your school. In curriculum timetable. As an after school activity.

   6.      Benefits. Would certain pupils benefit from the nature of the sport. i.e. the disciplined nature required. The teamwork needed. The reliance on fellow pupils to help each other.

   7.      Input from the school. The collection of the fees which could be handled by the School or if you so wish  passed directly to the fencing master.

   8.      Rules. Would you open fencing to only pupils attending your school. Make it available to a limited number of feeder schools

If your school would be interested in founding a School Club or having taster sessions over a period of weeks contact us.

Fencing

I’ve been fencing ever since I started middle school. Now I’m in year 7. when I first started I really enjoyed it. It was great the way there was a mix of boys and girls. I’ve learnt  well from that moment on, actually I’ve been told I’m quite good. I’ve seen fencers come and go, and the majority loved fencing. Now my little sister joined and she likes it just as much as I have. Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to go to a competition but others in my group have. Fencing is definitely my favourite sport.

Fencing is not only fun but a good way to keep fit. Before you start to worry it doesn’t include press-ups and jogging. However you do have to wear special clothing - Jackets mask and gloves.

You will also need a blade, the one to start off with is a foil. As you get more advanced you might be asked if you would like to try sabre and maybe epee. The club has all this equipment for you to try out.

There is not much to fencing! (really? You wait till I get you back next week young lady.).

Footwork being the hardest, holding the blade the easiest. Once you can do these you can learn the moves and meanings. There are parries - circular, semi circular and lateral. Don't forget attacks!

Fencing is good fun and I would suggest it to anybody who likes sport and wants to keep fit!

Fencing is a brilliant exciting sport.

A good aim and a strong defence and you’ve got your hit.

You get taken up step by step until your winning bout after bout after bout. Its fun and also a good source of exercise.
