Training Schedule
This is our current training schedule for Trinity Term (amended 02/05/2024).
There will be no training Monday 6th May due to the Bannister Mile.
Whole club sessions, coached footwork, individual lessons, squad sessions, free bouting and beginners sessions will be taking place in the Cricket Centre unless otherwise specified.
More information about the different tiers of membership can be found here.
Our Tuesday Squad session is invite-only at the discretion of the captains. There is an additional strength & conditioning session for the Blues teams which is organised by the captains. Whole club sessions will involve fencing with electrical scoring, so familiarity with the equipment involved is required.
Individual Lessons
Lessons are with Tomek Walicki, our head coach. He is a skilled fencing coach and is able to give instruction in every weapon. He has coached successful fencers in all age groups both on a national and international level. Tomek is also the head coach at Salle Boston, one of London’s top fencing clubs.
Times for lessons are arranged through the mailing list before each term.

FAQ
Is there club kit I can borrow?
Yes! We have club kit for all weapons that you can borrow. We do however recommend that if you are an experienced fencer, in particular on the squad, you look into purchasing your own kit.
