Why fence here?

Join a friendly community

Whether you have never fenced before or are on your way to the Commonwealth Games, Watford has coaches ready to support fencers of all ability levels.

A short walk from Rickmansworth Tube Station and with a car park on site, we train every Wednesday from 19:45 to 21:45 at the the Royal Masonic School for Girls.

Coaching is provided by a team of qualified, experienced and, above all, friendly coaches. Daren Tee is head coach, coaching foil and sabre every week. Lajos Fazekas coaches all three weapons the second Wednesday of the month.
