Beginner Courses

Beginning your Fencing Journey

We offer 5-8 week beginners courses throughout the year at Cardiff Academy of Fencing. All those new to fencing need to start here, and by the end of the course they will have all the skills and knowledge they will need to join a club session.

Courses need to be booked online in advance. Each padawan/youth 8 week course costs £75 per person. Adult beginner courses are 5 weeks long at a cost of £50. This includes the provision of kit.

We split our sessions into the following age groups: Padawan 5-7years old, Youth 8-12years old & Senior 13years old and over.

See below for upcoming courses run by the club. There is a limited opportunity to book a private beginners course directly with a coach, please email enquires@cardifffencing.academy for more information. These are subject to coach and venue availability.
