My Coaching Philosophy
I want fencers to enjoy fencing and to be able to successfully fence at whatever level they want to.
I recognise that fencers will have different aspirations, and my approach is to adapt and support them in achieving their goals. To do this, I want fencers to have sound basics of fencing - bladework, footwork, and tactical awareness – so that they will both enjoy fencing and be able to develop their technique and style to be successful.

In order for a coach to show on the register we confirm that they meet *minimum* eligibility standards - in terms of suitable criminal record checks, minimum safeguarding training, and minimum entry level coaching qualifications. For more information on minimum standards please see here.

BF does not currently provide an additional verification process in relation to the other information supplied by coaches which shows above. Coaches can choose to provide as much or as little detail as they wish. However, if you have any concerns in relation to the information a coach is providing on the register you can contact us here.

Coaches are encouraged to work within their qualifications and competencies, and if they don't, they are not insured. For more information click here.

It is a sign of good practice that coaches have updated and recent (last 6 years) British Fencing coaching qualifications and assessments. For more information click here.
