Agenda
You'll start with a full safety briefing and warm up with a top international coach who will introduce you to the basics, including essential footwork. Then you'll be shown the equipment, including foil and mask and will go through a few techniques, taught to help equip you beat your opponent. You'll learn all the basics and some of the terminology (including some French!) that goes with them, such as the lunge, parry, riposte and feint. Then it's into pairs for dueling and fighting games before you put all you have learned into practice with a battle against an opposing team. Finally, you will be given a demonstration of the three different swords used in fencing (foil, epee and saber - all used quite differently within the rules of fencing). The experience lasts around 2 hours.
