Here is a playful way for a child aged 4 to 6 and a parent or other adult to move together and learn something new. The beginner class introduces fencing through games, balance, coordination and reaction exercises, with simple fencing techniques and small mock bouts adapted to the youngest children's age and concentration.
Nobody needs any previous experience. The focus is on movement, play and shared enjoyment rather than results or competition, and the adult takes part actively alongside the child, helping them through the exercises. The atmosphere is gentle and supportive, and a shy child can take things at their own pace.
