Level 2 Foil

I have been coaching fencing since 2002, operating as a community coach at Huntingdonshire Fencing Club, offering basic introduction to new fencers via our 10 week beginners courses as well as giving one to one lessons. For me it is about the enjoyment and fun of fencing, the ability to fence many types and levels of fencers and always being able to learn from everyone you fence.
