Description
Whether you have always fancied yourself as the next Errol Flynn, Zorro or even Luke Skywalker, this introduction to fencing will help give you a real insight into the Olympic sport of fencing. By being one on one with a top international instructor you'll learn all of the basics that are required for fencing and have an opportunity to put your skills to the test by going up against your instructor. How long will you last?
Your experience will start with a full safety briefing where the top international coaches will introduce you to the basics, for example, a quick workout to learn the essential footwork. You'll then be shown the equipment including foil and mask before going through the different techniques in order to beat your opponent. During the session you'll learn all the basics and terminology that goes with them, such as the lunge, parry, riposte and feint. Then it's time to put all you have learned into practice by challenging your instructor to a duel. The session will end with an introduction to the three different types of sword used in fencing - the Foil, Epee and Sabre.
