A word from our President
Hi there, welcome to the official website for the University of Warwick Fencing Club!
Fencing at Warwick has a long and proud history and since Covid the club has returned, better and more successful than ever!
We welcome fencers of any and all experience levels at Warwick Fencing. Whether you’ve never picked up a blade before, or have been fencing for decades, this is the place to be! We provide all necessary kit as well as excellent coaching across all skill levels. Our Novice program introduces new fencers to all 3 weapon types and the basic skills needed to progress to a high level of fencing. In tandem with this, we run a yearly novice-only competition. This 30-year tradition is both the largest national competition of its type, and the tentpole Warwick Fencing event of the year. It welcomes novice fencers from all across the country to compete in a weapon of their choosing, giving them a superb introduction into competitive fencing. In addition this, we also run the annual Warwick Open. This offers a high-level competition for the more experienced fencer, last year reaching record numbers of 200+ participants.
For those looking to engage in the competitive side, we always make a strong showing at BUCS regional and national competitions, as well as regular teams matches with other universities. This year we seek to build on the immense successes that have come before. Our Men’s 1st team will make their Premier League debut, the Women’s 1st team will continue to make waves in the 1A, and our Men’s 2nd team will make their first BUCS appearance!
We always give our members opportunities to develop their skills off the piste, helping gain experience and qualifications in refereeing, coaching, or armouring. This, along with our thriving social scene, means that we truly have something to offer for everyone. If you’re looking for to compete, try something new, or just make friends, you couldn’t pick a better society. We hope to see you at a session soon!
