About
DSFencing Club
Founded By Champions for Champions
Founded in early 2023 by former national fencers, DSFencing Club is driven by a profound passion for the sport and a clear mission: to make fencing accessible for everyone. Our specialisation is epee, and we sharpen the skills of fencers across three crucial age categories: 5- to 7-year-olds, 8- to 11-year-olds, and 12-year-olds and up.
As the dynamic new club on the block, we’re committed to making fencing accessible. We offer the most cost-effective fencing programmes to encourage more newcomers to discover the sport.
Elite Coaching Personalised for You
Our unique strength lies in the calibre of our coaches. Unlike many established clubs where beginners often learn from other novices or senior students, our curriculum is meticulously designed and delivered by ex-national Epee fencers who founded DSFencing Club. They personally oversee training, ensuring every student, from beginner to advanced, receives expert guidance. We only bring in current national team fencers as assistant coaches, guaranteeing top-tier instruction at every level. This means you’re learning directly from the best.
Lowering the Bar, Raising the Fun
At DSFencing Club, we’re tearing down the typical roadblocks that keep people from discovering the incredible world of epee fencing. We’re dedicated to making this exhilarating sport genuinely accessible. Our commitment starts with offering the most cost-effective fencing programmes you’ll find, specifically designed to encourage more beginners to step onto the piste.
But we don’t stop there. We understand that investing in gear can be a significant hurdle. That’s why we provide all the necessary fencing equipment for our students until they’re ready to get their own. How do we manage this? By leveraging our strong industry connections to source affordable, high-quality fencing gear directly. We believe that the thrill of the touch, the strategic challenge, and the joy of progress should be within everyone’s reach.
