Belfast Fencing Club

Since his first night at this club, my older son has been hooked and each week the little one complains bitterly that he is too young to go. The sessions are well structured and my son has learnt so much and made great progress in the six months he has been a member.
The coach is a dedicated guy called Kieran who really cares about teaching kids to fence. He concentrates on methods and techniques and works towards entering the kids in competitions when they are ready. The club have a full range of equipment so from the first night the kids wear the full kit and get a feel for using the foils. A few weeks later, Kieran will have them fencing against someone else which is great for their confidence. The weekly lessons last for 2 hours and tire out even my hyper 10 year old.
You can pay monthly for the fees or get the pain over in one go, at £135 for the whole year. Given the standard of coaching and equipment, and the benefits for the kids, this is great value for money.
