Paul Davis Fencing Academy

This is a great club and I love being a member and part of a fencing community. It's great to be able to learn with people at all different abilities and ages, and the coaches are really encouraging. I highly recommend private lessons as well as the group sessions. They give you so much confidence and experience of how to become a better fencer and what to work towards.

The Shield of Endeavour programme has been very fun to do because it is fascinating learning life skills through fencing, like understanding empathy and importance of w...

I can not recommend this academy more highly! This is a club which manages to balance providing the right environment for those fencers looking to represent their country along with those fencers who are just starting out and looking to fence for fun. Emphasis is also put on creating an environment which promotes positive mental well being and developing growth mindsets which are not only characteristics necessary for the successful fencer, but are essential skills for all young people to lea...
