Is there a fencing club near me? Most likely, as the sport grows in popularity so does the demand for coaching and facilities.
If you are keen to start fencing you can find your local fencing club using our extensive location map below. This gives you a database of fencing clubs in the UK and US and also which disciplines they specialise in (foil, epee or sabre).

Membership costs for fencing clubs in the UK on average are around £90-£120 per term (a term is usually 11-13 weeks) if you choose to train once a week. For two sessions per week the cost increase to £150-£180 per term, but many clubs will offer discounts for group sessions, taking out a membership plan or student reductions. Private individual lessons can be anywhere from £40-£75 per lesson (usually two hours long).
In America, once you find your local fencing club (which must be affiliated with USA Fencing) there is an annual fee of $10 for non-competitive training and $85 for competitive membership. This is on top of club membership which is generally between $70-$150 per month.
