Welcome to Chichester Fencing Club!
Beginners' Courses
If you have never tried fencing before and would like to give it a go, our adult beginners' courses could be perfect for you.
In the past our courses have been very successful, with many beginners deciding to continue with fencing after completing their course.
The courses include an overview of the rules of fencing, footwork and blade-work lessons, a chance to try out all three weapons and the electric scoring equipment, and a friendly competition with prizes to finish the course. All this is supervised by Chichester Fencing Club's award winning coach, Sharon Blackman.
If you are new to fencing, check out our Why Fencing? page to find out about all the benefits of the sport, and read on below to find out about our excellent club.
The first course of 2009 commences in January, but don't worry if you miss this one because Chichester Fencing Club will continue to run courses throughout the year and always welcomes new people.
Course start date: January 9th
Course duration: 6 weeks
Course cost: £40

Chichester Fencing Club provides fun fencing and coaching for beginners and more experienced fencers of all ages. There are two separate sessions for juniors and for adults. Members of the club fence all three weapons.
Kit is provided for those who do not have their own. In fact the club has just purchased a large amount of brand new equipment with money from a substantial Lottery grant.
The club has a very friendly, encouraging atmosphere. There is coaching available for those who want to progress, or just plenty of other fencers to fight throughout the evening. Chichester Fencing Club visits local schools to try to encourage young people to take up the sport and, of course, we are always glad to have new adult members, either beginners or more experienced fencers. There is also information about regional and open competitions available for the more competitive fencers.
The club also organises regular events such as fun junior competitions, inter-club matches, beginner courses, and demonstrations from Britain's top fencers, as well as many others.
The club meets once a week in Chichester with fees being paid on a day to day basis, or up front for a whole term, which turns out slightly cheaper. For more information see When & Where.
