Private Lessons
All lessons are 20 minutes of one-on-one time with a coach.
To take a lesson you must wear a fencing mask and glove at all times. Additional gear may be required by your individual coach. All of this can be provided by the club at no additional charge.
​
We highly recommend a thorough warm-up prior to taking a lesson. Please ensure you arrive in plenty of time to warm-up ahead of your lesson time.
​ Lessons are available to BFC members only.
