What We Do
Welcome to the University of Bath Fencing club. Fencing is a sport with a strong pedigree in Bath, and whether you’re an internationally experienced fencer or you’ve never picked up a sword in your life, you’ll find a place here at the University of Bath.
Reasons to Join Us
In 2018 the club was awarded the University of Bath Club of the Year! This was an incredible achievement for the club and reflects the club's hard work competitively and also socially, providing a welcoming place for people to try and develop their fencing.
We are one of the few fencing clubs in the nation with access to a fully specialised fencing salle. We offer beginner's courses in all three weapons and intermediate/advanced fencing training for anyone looking to pick up fencing at university. We also are partnered with Bath Sword Club with access to their excellent coaches.
We have two teams entered in British Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS) leagues; our Womens 1st have been at the top end of the Southern Premier League season after season, and our Mens 1st are fighting in Western Tier 1 for promotion back into Southern Prem. BUCS Individual Nationals is a highlight of our calendar, with multiple medals in the last few years.
In addition to our sport offer, we have a thriving social scene within the club, providing a range of socials from relaxing movie nights to big nights out. Whether you have never even heard of fencing before or are an experienced fencer looking for a place to train and advance up the rankings, here at the University of Bath fencing club, there’s a place for you!
Come & Meet Us
We run taster sessions every Fresher's and Re-fresher's week for students to try out fencing for free! If you want to try fencing at any other point in the year, you're welcome to come to one of our beginners sessions but you will need to purchase our membership (just £10!) for SU insurance purposes.
