The classes are of mixed ability and age, 4 - 10 years. At the beginning of the lesson we play a number of warm-up games. The children are then taught the various fencing moves - using foam swords and plastic masks - which they then get to try out against each other. To finish we play more games based on improving hand-eye co-ordination and reflexes. There are levels of achievement which the children work towards and we strive to make the classes as much fun as possible. As the children move forward through the levels they move from using foam swords to plastic foils which mimic the real thing.

Classes last 1 hour and cost £8.50 per class.

Swordplay classes last half an hour and cost £5 per class.

The first session or try out is a pay as you go. If your child enjoys it and wants to continue there's a once-only registration fee of £12.00 (which includes a club T-shirt) and we ask that you pay for the rest of the half-term in advance. Your child should wear comfortable clothes (such as t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms) and trainers. A bottle of water is also advisable.

Please contact us in advance if you would like your child to try out as we need to plan our lesson accordingly and bring enough equipment with us.
