Your First Class

What to expect from your first class

We understand that it can be daunting to turn up for your first class and so we want to provide a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. So here is what to expect from your first class.

At the beginning of class the instructor will help kit you out with a fencing mask and a sword for you to use in that class. We then start the class with a structured warm up followed by a series of partnered drills. We tend to finish the class with some sparring and sparring games. Sparring in the club, while a lot of fun, is completely optional and there is no judgment on anyone who doest feel comfortable doing it. We finish the class with a salute to our training partners before packing away.

What to bring with you

In short just bring yourself. We will provide all the equipment needed to start you off and allow you to take part in sessions. We advice to come in comfortable clothing that is appropriate for doing sports and athletic activities. Sensible shoes are a must and it is highly recommended to bring a drink.

Is there a fee?

Yes, we have an attendance fee for your first session. Please look at our classes page for prices.

Payment

We are currently looking into digital payment option to make it easier for people to attend. In the mean time we accept cash payment on the day.

Let us know you are coming

While it is ok to just turn up for a session without prior notice it will help the instructor if you would let us know that you are coming beforehand. Just message one of our social media pages or send us an email to let us know.
