    Note:

    • You can only book up to 8 days in advance.

    • You are able to cancel up to 5 minutes prior to the start of the session.

  • A termly membership gives you access to either the beginners or experienced sessions. The skill level of the beginner and experienced groups is significantly different, and so if you are unsure which group is best for you please contact secretary.oufc@gmail.com

  • Outside of term time we offer free sparring sessions to members. Beginners are able to attend these sessions, however you MUST check with the beginners coach (Jacob) to see whether he believes you have the skills to fence in a non-supervised environment. OUFC does not offer coached sessions (groups or private) during the vacation.

  • Beginners are able to attend all whole club sessions (including free sparring and group coached sessions) alongside the specific coached sessions run by the beginners coach. However, we do advise that you gain a firm skill base before attending the whole club sessions.

  • Yes! Club kit is available for all members for use while at the club (it is not allowed to be removed from the club facilities), however we would recommend, especially for experienced fencers, that bring your own kit if you have the means

  • Unfortunately not! We do apologise about this, however our club insurance only covers us for 18+ members. If you are a student and will be turning 18 during your time at university, please contact the secretary (secretary.oufc@gmail.com) so we can work out a plan for you to be able to fence at OUFC!
