Classes and Club Session Times
There are two ways you can give fencing a go at the Fencing Institute. Join one of the group classes listed below. Our classes are designed for both new and advanced fencers to learn the basics, get a good workout, extend skills or just have a fun time. We offer beginner classes and advanced classes for both young fencers and adults. All protective clothing and fencing equipment is provided initially. You will only need sports shoes, trousers, a light long-sleeved top and a named water bottle. You will be expected to have your own gear after you have been fencing a year, or sooner if preferred. Before buying, please talk to your coach about what equipment would be best for you.
If you are a beginner and would like to join one of the classes listed below contact Karen Johnston 027 2492939 or email hello@fencinginstitute.co.nz . We have two beginner classes for children who are at primary or intermediate school - a Monday at 5pm or a Tuesday at 4pm. You can try a class before you decide to join for the full term. It is $15 to visit a beginner class which includes equipment. If you join the class, the visit fee is deductible from the term fee. When you join a group class your fee will include your membership to the Fencing Institute as a Starter Member. You will be able to participate in our social activities, purchase club clothing and receive the club’s newsletters.
If there are no times to suit you contact one of our coaches for a private lesson. Times can be arranged to suit your needs.
If you already have experience fencing and have your own equipment, then join as a Full Club Member. Club session times are listed below. Go to the membership page for more information.
