Hear From the Team 

"My love for fencing has taken me on an incredible journey. I started off as a beginner, aged 9. After years of training, I went on to win National Championship medals and represented Great Britain in 12 World Cups across Europe! My team and I are now teaching this wonderful sport across the country. My favourite part is seeing the joy that this sport brings to the children as they develop and gain confidence."

Theo McGlone 
Founder 

"I started fencing aged 9 and it has been one of the greatest journeys of my life. I fell in love with the sport aged 14, where it became clear that the mental complexity of the sport and physical challenge it offered was unlike any other sport I had tried. This had me hooked till this day. My aim is now to qualify for the Olympics and win medals on the international stage."
