What is fencing?

Fencing is a very special sport, that helps you improve your skills in many ways: develops your ability to concentrate, helps you keep fit, and teaches you how to stand up for yourself and fight! Sounds interesting, hmm?

Our club members can do regular trainings twice a week. We also organise training days and in-house competitions. Competing against local clubs and university clubs nearby are also great fun! And, of course, our most enthusiastic fencers fight for points at the BUSA Championships!

A picture to draw you into the amazing world of fencing: This photo below is from the Getty collection 'Essence of Athens 2004' and was shown at an exhibition in London last year in support of the London Olympic Games 2012. (london2012.org) This is what we really do!
