I’ve been fencing for around 5 years now and my home club is in Bristol where I fence during the holidays. Foil is my weapon of choice although when needed I have dabbled in a bit of sabre. I enjoy individual competitions at the weekends, especially when it turns in to a club road trip. I’ll also be leading the beginners’ foil sessions next year, with goals and targets for you to achieve throughout the year, and a lot of fun too!

I’m a third year medic and so spend a lot of time in uni. Some of my ‘skills’ have proven useful in fencing medical emergency situations (though I have a track record of being the one that gets hurt!).  I spend most of my spare time just hanging out with friends and sitting in the pub.
