About Us Print E-mail

Cardiff Fencing Club is the Principality's oldest established fencing club. In addition to providing fencing as a social activity, our top fencers have an excellent record of competition success at Commonwealth, British and Welsh levels.

The club meet, with the exception of the Christmas holiday, throughout the year. Students can train at any of the three fencing disciplines:

  • Epee – the modern equivalent to the Rapier;
  • Sabre – historically the cutlass or cavalry sword; or
  • Foil – a sword whose conventions have been developed by masters over the centuries.

The club is affiliated to Welsh and British Fencing.
