Fencing for Families with Nic Hothersall
All sessions will be delivered by a British Fencing Association qualified instructor, and everyone will be provided with full protective clothing. The session begins by equipping each participant with a padded jacket, mask, foil, and glove before moving ahead and covering the fundamentals for attack and defence, including the En-Garde Stance, Lunge, Parry, and Riposte. Once participants have mastered these basics, they will have the opportunity to compete against their fellow fencers and really test their skills.
