It’s a great sport for all ages and is FANTASTIC! for building up physical fitness, agility, bodytone, balance and control. You’re never too old to learn fencing either. safety At Chilwell Blades Fencing Club we take the safety of ourselves and other club members extremely seriously, to protect each other against accidents. We have our own strict safety rules which are in accordance with those set out by the British Fencing Association. These rules will be explained to you on your first night at the club and you will be expected to adhere to them throughout your time as a member of Chilwell Blades. Anyone acting irresponsibly and/or breaking the safety rules may be asked to leave the club.
