About the Course

Epee is a very accessible weapon for adults because the principles and rules of the weapon are very straightforward, and very little specialist kit is needed.  

You will need tracksuit trousers, a T-shirt and trainers – we will provide everything else you’ll need for the course.  

Each session is 1.5 hours and incorporates a general warm-up.  The course covers the basics of fencing footwork; the principles of fencing with the epee; blade work techniques; practice ’bouts’, and an introduction to fencing using electronic scoring equipment.   The course is led by Kate Smith, former British Champion (Senior and Veteran) and GB and England fencer, and Level 3 Coach.

All equipment provided. Feel free to contact us if you have any queries. By buying this course, you agree to be bound by the club’s waiver.

After the Lesson

Once you have completed the course, you will have the option to join a regular fencing class starting every Monday or Tuesday from 7:00 pm.
You can start immediately and attend the next regular session next week.
You will need to join the club to continue. To join the club, see the Membership page – your first night is free!
