A relaxed beginners' session for children who are new to fencing or have only tried it a little. No prior knowledge of the rules, equipment or fitness is needed, and the training is adapted so each child can learn at their own pace.
Sessions cover the basic movements and techniques of fencing, such as the en garde stance, safe footwork, distance, attack and defence. Each session includes warm-up, games, coordination exercises, footwork, partner drills and small bouts. The focus is on fair play, respect and a good team spirit, where children learn to greet their opponent, follow the rules and handle both wins and losses.
Fencing is both physical and mental, building motor skills, balance, coordination and reaction time while training concentration and quick decision-making. The club's trainers welcome new members warmly and introduce the equipment, rules and exercises step by step.
