Cambridge Fencing Club is a three weapon club for men and women. We use a number of electric pistes for all three weapons. Several coaches cover all levels of proficiency in all 3 weapons. We often have company from Cambridge Sword members and occasionally fencers from the University, and encourage all our members to enter competitions as often as possible. We cater for the age group 16+; would younger fencers please contact Cambridge Sword or Cambrigde Cadets .

Where & When:

Thursdays from 7:00 - 10:00 pm at the Netherhall Upper School Sports Hall in Cambridge. We fence 48 weeks of the year, venue allowing.

Courses:

In parallel to the Thursdays club session, we conduct Beginners and Intermediates courses in an adjoining gym. Children below the age of 16 should contact the Cambridge Cadets or Cambridge Sword.
