CLUB NIGHT: METHODist college, LARGE GYM

Our evening club night is run at Methodist College, Large gym. Our Members come from a varied mix of greater Belfast schools. We are proud of our ethnic and social diversity. We focus on inclusion, friendship, fencing and fitness. We run two sessions back to back - for an under 14 yr old group from 5.00 and for an over 14yr old group from 6.30pm. We will always start promptly (please arrive 5mins BEFORE your session starts so that you are ready to begin on time).

Fees are based on a £12.00 per session fee and must be paid for in advance.

Tuesdays: 5.00-6.30pm: This session is for our young fencers. Consequently we call it our Junior session. Usual ages are from 9 - 14yrs (depending on ability). A rota is set up for Junior fencers to stay on until 7.00pm periodically for a one-to-one lesson with the coach which allows for individual tuition and learning.

Tuesdays: 6.30-8.30pm: Mostly fencers that know the basics and have been fencing for 6months or more. This is a technical night, with controlled sparring and exercises. Great for all fencers wanting to improve their understanding and technical skill set. Usual ages are from 15 - 20yrs (depending on ability).
