Fencing Workshop Amsterdam
Fence like Ivanhoe! "En garde" scum! Come on: Knock down all the chairs and couches and climb the stairs, while you keep the scoundrels at a distance with brilliant moves and can escape with the Lady?.! You can all learn to do that during this workshop!
Ok, ok, we probably move too fast; fencing is an art that requires respect and technique that you cannot learn like that. Let's focus first on ''household" fencing?
We will take you to a real fencing room in the middle of the old "Jordaan", where you will be introduced, under the supervision of our instructor (a multiple Dutch Champion), to the principles of fencing.
Fencing started ages ago as part of the education for nobles. Nowadays. it is an exclusive and competitive sport, extremely safe and quite breathtaking,
Speed, strategy and control build body and mind.

You may rather elope with a "Sir" than with a "Lady": fencing is suitable for both sexes?
