What is it?

The course will be taught with Épée, one of three weapons in modern fencing. This is the most practised weapon in the sport today, and is derived from the 19th-century Épée de Combat, a weapon which itself derives from the French small sword. Modern Epee is the simplest of the three weapons in that the whole body is the target, and there are no right of way rules as in Foil and Sabre fencing.

Where is it?

How do I sign up?

The cost is £75, and all equipment will be provided. You need to wear long tracksuit trousers and a t-shirt.
