Stourbridge Fencing Club

  • is a friendly, informal club, with some members who train and compete at open competitions and other national and international events and other purely 'social' fencers.

  • is a 3 weapon club, where members can fence one or more of the 3 weapons of this Olympic sport - foil, epée or sabre.

  • Has highly qualified and very experienced coaches (with DBS, insurance, etc. backing, naturally)

  • has a junior group for 8*-12 year olds and a senior group for 13+ to ... very olds :) *(approximate ages of acceptance and moving up)

  • offers free tasters in the junior group at any time

  • offers tasters in the senior group as convenient and frequent beginners' courses.

  • provides beginners with the use of ALL the necessary specialist equipment

Did you know that fencing was one of the 9 sports at the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896 and has been in the Olympics ever since?

Did you know is one of the fastest sports? - a sword is only outstripped by an arrow!

Did you know that fencing, the European Martial Art, provides all the character and personality building benefits claimed by the Oriental Martial Arts - plus you get to stab people - what's not to like?

Whatever your aims, get in touch and you will be guaranteed a friendly welcome.

Costs and Booking Information

Cost:

£5.50

Booking Required?

Yes

Booking Information:

Contact in advance is required before a first attendance, because it is a requirement that all fencers are members of the National Governing Body (NGB), British Fencing (BF) or of another NGB recognised by the IOC. Initial BF membership is FREE for the first 90 days. So there is no cost to try the sport. We also require new members to complete the club registration form, so that we have all the necessary information to fulfil our duty of care. Visitors who do just turn up will be allowed to fence on proof of BF membership and completion of a visitor registration form.

Cost Information:

8-12 year olds £5.50, 13-18 year olds £6.50**, adults £8.50/session. ** Those in full time education and in financial hardship may be offered the £6.50 rate on application to the committee. There is an annual registration fee of £10.00 for adults. There is NO charge to beginners for the use of club equipment. Free taster sessions are given to newcomers to the junior group. Beginners' course fees for the senior group vary according to the duration and any other factors. The next course will probably be in early January 2025.
