Newton Abbot Fencing Club dates back over 30 years and is one of Newton Abbot’s longest established sports clubs. Initially a Newton Abbot club, in 1998 it added an extra night on a Tuesday to meet in and serve the people of the Totnes area.
At present Epee (very similar to a duelling weapon) is the main weapon practiced but some members are willing to fight with either of other two, that is foil and sabre.
The club has been the starting point for fencers who have achieved international status and been selected to represent Great Britain.
On occasions the Club has assisted local drama groups to put together fights for stage productions (e.g. Hamlet).
The club has three coaches and meets four times a week. It is affiliated to the National organisation, British Fencing, and is a member of the Devon County Fencing Union.
We run classes for all ages and abilities and welcome new members.
