Fancy trying a fun and different sport? Fægteklubben Trekanten offers a children's fencing class for ages 6 to 10 at DGI Byen, set in a safe environment in the middle of Copenhagen.
No experience is needed. Children don't have to know the rules or have held a fencing sword before. The group includes complete beginners as well as children who already know the basic movements and techniques, so the level is open and inclusive. What matters most is the wish to learn, move and be part of the team.
Sessions cover the basics of fencing: footwork, balance, distance and technique, with children learning to attack, defend and react to an opponent. Each class mixes warm-up, games, partner drills, technical training and small fencing bouts, adapted to each child's age and experience. Fencing works the whole body and builds motor skills, coordination, balance and reaction time, while also challenging concentration and quick decision-making.
