ComeSharpenyour edge
Come join us to discover fencing. We’ll support you on every step of your journey, whether that’s casual sparring or representing Navy at home and overseas. With three disciplines to try out, we’ve got something for everyone.
CHESS – AT 100MPH
Fencing brings together fitness, learning skills, and your thinking game – all in one sport.
We’ll help you learn the basics and support you to try out our three disciplines – foil, epee, and sabre. You set the pace – we run weekly sparring sessions at TEMERAIRE, plus events throughout the year where we get together to fence, learn, and enjoy friendships.
There is no ‘ideal’ fencer – the thing fencers have in common is enjoying the sport. If you want to take if further, we offer support for training and competitions, as well as opportunities to travel. We’ll provide you with equipment when you need it – you bring the enthusiasm and energy.
All disciplines have a Women’s and a Mixed/Men’s division
