Coaching


I am a fencing master working on a self-employed basis in the Swindon and Oxford area. Currently I work at Dauntsy's School near Devizes, Summerfields in Oxford, as well as St Helens and Abingdon Schools in Abingdon. In Swindon I teach at Ferndale Junior, Peatmoor and Greedown Schools. I also coach at the Swindon and Abingdon Fencing Clubs. In addition to this I run and teach at a historical fencing group called Messengers in Swindon where the main focus weapon is the medieval longsword.
I currently hold a regional level coaching award (level 4 by the new standards) in Foil, Epee and Sabre.

Also available are:
Group Sessions: Ideal for school enhancement activities, youth groups, adult active programs. Normally for groups of up to 12 people, although larger group sizes could be accomodated if necessary. Sessions last from 1 hour to all day events.

One-off Sessions: Ideal for groups of up to 20 people wishing to try fencing for the first time or parties.

Individual Tuition: I am available to teach 1 hour one-to-one sessions.
