Congratulations to the coaches, volunteers, young fencers and parents who helped us to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Birmingham Fencing Club Juniors. Over the years we have supported hundreds of young people to start their fencing journey. Here's to another 25 years!
Our juniors (aged 8 to 16) meet from 9AM to 11AM on Saturday mornings. Beginners are welcome and all kit is supplied. Please note that there is currently a waiting list to join the junior club.
The West Midlands BYC Foil Qualifier is taking place on 2nd March 2025 at Tudor Grange Leisure Centre. If you want to take part please speak to one of the coaches at the Saturday morning session. You can register here:
We run regular beginners courses, meeting on Tuesday evenings at 7PM. We will lend you all the kit you need until you have decided whether the sport is for you. The cost for the 6 week course is £75, which includes kit, coaching and a certificate when you pass your Level 1 qualification. You will need to register with the British Fencing Association for their free 90 day trial membership. To register for our next course please email us at birminghamfencingclub@hotmail.com
If you are an experienced fencer and would like to fence with us we would be delighted to see you. We meet on Tuesday evenings from 7PM to 9PM and Thursdays from 8PM to 10PM. We fence Foil, Epee and Sabre, and we welcome fencers of all three weapons. The cost is £10 per session payable on the night or by bank transfer.
Our juniors (aged 8 to 16) meet from 9AM to 11AM on Saturday mornings. Beginners are welcome and all kit is supplied. Please note that there is currently a waiting list to join the junior club. The cost for a term is £98, Please enquire at birminghamfencingclub@hotmail.com
Unfortunately we cannot offer individual or group taster sessions. If you have fenced before and would like to return to fencing, please email us, otherwise you will need to do a beginners course.
All you need for the beginners course is a tracksuit and a pair of trainers. For more experienced fencers or those returning to fencing after a break we have jackets, masks, gloves and weapons that you can borrow on the night. We do not have breeches available to borrow.
Our fencers do compete both locally and nationally, we have a strong record of success and are happy to support those who wish to compete. However, members are under no pressure to do so, and we have a lot of members who are happy just to fence recreationally.
Temporary (free) membership of the BFA is required to join the Beginners course. If you decide you want to continue fencing you will need to upgrade to paid membership, and to attend the Tuesday and Thursday sessions you must be a member. You can get more information here:
Have a question about our club or fencing in general? Send us a message, and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We meet at the University of Birmingham Sports and Fitness Centre.
