Fancy trying a fun and different sport? Fægteklubben Trekanten runs a children's fencing class for ages 6 to 10 at DGI Byen in central Copenhagen, in a safe setting.
No experience is needed, and children don't have to know the rules or have held a fencing weapon before. The group welcomes complete beginners as well as children who already know the basic moves, so the level is open and inclusive. What matters most is the wish to learn, move and be part of the team.
Sessions cover footwork, balance, distance and technique, and children learn to attack, defend and react to an opponent. Each class mixes warm-up, games, partner exercises, technical training and small bouts, with exercises adapted to age and experience. Fencing works the whole body and builds motor skills, coordination, balance and quick reactions, while also training concentration and quick decision-making.
