Rangiora Fencing Club has been introducing locals to the sport for around four years. As a satellite club of Christchurch’s Fencing Institute, the club welcomes both beginners and experienced fencers aged 12 and over.
Sessions are held every Tuesday from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the Parish Church Hall on Church Street. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with group coaching as well as opportunities for one-on-one sessions with coach Chris.
While the club mainly focuses on Foil, monthly “Free Fencing” nights give members the chance to fence without structured lessons and try Epee and Sabre as well.
You don’t need to buy equipment to get started. The club provides protective gear and equipment for beginners, and caters for all fitness levels. Best of all, newcomers can try three sessions for free.
If you have ever been curious about fencing, come along and give it a go. Contact James on 027 230 0015 or via Facebook Messenger for more information.
