That means that each session has a diverse range of abilities from beginner to competitive. We will on occasion have some fencers needing to train in a different age group to their age. This is at the discretion of TMFC staff.
A. It isn’t always possible to have siblings in the same group either due to ability or simply because they are siblings and want to fence separate to one another. If there is a specific need for them to be in the same class please speak to one of our coaches.
1:1 coaching is a 20 minute slot and covers a mixture of practical coaching, match analysis or strength and conditioning. This is based on the individual and what they are currently working on in their development.
