* Course Booklet. We follow the British Academy of Fencing Course structure & you will work towards completing your Bronze Award.
* Full Kit Supplied throughout the duration of the course.

Primary Schools
Children 10 years old & above, who have completed a 10/12 week After School course with David & Nickola Beck or Robert Pryer or who hold a 'Swashbucklers Certificate' are eligible to join our course for a reduced price of £26.
