If you've always fancied yourself as an expert sword fighter like in the movies, then fencing could be for you. 

Fencing is amongst the most inclusive of all sports and one of the few that allows everyone to find their competitive edge.  We’re here to help you discover, uncover or develop your physical and mental talents.  If you’re new to the sport, we’ll lend you everything you need to explore your inner Jedi, it’s not just about being the biggest or strongest; intellect counts.

Fencing is a great way to work out and is unique in its need for mental and physical dedication – an intense match or training session is great for all-round fitness, muscle toning, building core strength, co-ordination and balance. Since you need to make lightning-fast decisions, it is also excellent for concentration and focus.

And if you're not into being the formal olympian fencer, we also offer HEMA. Here you can fence like they did hundreds of years ago with longsword, rapiers, shortswords and much more.

The strong bonds formed when fencing go beyond the gym; we’re amongst the most dedicated on the social scene too with regular weekly events. We’re proud to say that amongst all the University sporting clubs, we’re rarely off the piste!

Come and join us, challenge yourself and others but most of all, find new fun!
