@Jaz007 I have never fenced or considered trying to be honest. It looks really fun, but I honestly have not ever seen anywhere I could take it up. Obviously there must be places but it doesn’t seem very common. I’d also assume it’s quite an expensive hobby to get into?
@kyleforrester87 I think it’s often within a good distance (I imagine this would be especially so in the UK, given everything is closer over there), but if it’s line mine, you have to intentionally look for it as opposed to stumbling across it. It’s not necessarily common (not like Karate places at least), but I don’t think it’s rare either. I’m sure you’d find one if you searched in google maps. As for expensive to get into, I think that depends on the club. The club I’m in has gear for students to use, so it doesn’t require you to buy anything, just to pay for the lessons. Mine starts at about $75 a month. If you get into enough and want own gear it doesn’t cost some money though. A starter set costs with everything costs about $400-$500, then extra board and whatnot would add more to it. I as fencing for at least half a year I think before I got my own set of gear.
