Bristol Fencing Academy (for junior fencers) — Bristol White Eagle Fencing Club

Bristol Fencing Academy sessions have started again for our U16s on Wednesdays at Oasis Academy Brightstowe. Kit will need to be booked in advance.

Please also visit our Junior Eagles page

Wednesdays 7pm - 8pm. Please be prompt and arrive in your kit, ready to fence.

The Bristol Fencing Academy provides structured training in sabre fencing for junior fencers. Our aim is to teach fencing the right way. Good technique, fitness, wits and courage.

Character is a part of fencing and the Academy provides an environment of courtesy and kindness as well as competitive excellence: the two are not incompatible.

Instruction is delivered at beginner and development levels, with training schedules appropriate to each. Small group sizes ensure individual attention; every student of the Bristol Fencing Academy is provided with their own Fencing Journal which is completed on a regular basis by the fencer, together with their coach, to set goals and track progress.

A standard session may contain any/all of the following elements:

Warm-up games
Agility training
Footwork & foundations
Skills, drills & tactics
Video study and group discussion
Fencing (elecric and steam) with coach feedback
Individual video diagnostics
History of Fencing
Personal development & goal planning

Any junior fencer over the age of 6 is welcome to attend and enroll in our programmes. Fees are £30 per calendar month (by standing order only). This includes tuition, use of kit, grade badges & certificates & refreshments. Cancel at any time. Concessional rates are available inc. a discount for siblings - please enquire.

All of our coaches are DBS checked
