About us
Welcome to Royal Holloway Fencing Club. Everyone is welcome with any level of experience, from national team members to absolute beginners – don't worry about it!
Fencing is a great way to de-stress whilst improving your overall fitness. We take new people on throughout the year so come along for a session and have a go!
We provide coaching in all three weapons; Foil, Epee and Sabre. Most fencers start fencing with Foil as it allows an easy transition into the other weapons, but if you want to learn a particular weapon let us know!
We train both competitively and noncompetitively. So, whether you want to train towards a place on the Club Teams, or simply fence as a social and energetic sport – you can do so!
Our training sessions are on Tuesday 8-10 pm at the Sports Hall on campus.
Membership
Purchasing a membership to our club will give you access to in-person training and all the kit you’ll need to start fencing.
Your membership fee goes towards paying for new kit and kit repairs, coaching and costs of transport for BUCS fixtures. As a member, you’ll get the opportunity to learn a new fast paced and fun sport.
You’ll also get the chance to meet an amazing group of dedicated individuals that will hopefully become your friends for life.
Guests
If you are not a member of Royal Holloway but a member of another university fencing club and have a British Fencing Licence (at least to recreational level). You are welcome to participate in a session, however, you must contact us via Instagram or email prior to any session you wish to attend and purchasing the guest pass. Please make sure you bring your own kit to the session as we have limited kit to lend.
Events and Activities
Over the course of next year we will host a number of events including:
- Training weekly in all three weapons (Foil, Epee and Sabre)
- Competing in friendly and competitive competitions, including BUCS.
- Regular pub trips and other socials.
