The Tempest vision

Space to train.
Room to grow.

Our ambition is simple: to create a fencing experience that people want to be part of.

Tempest Fencing Club brings adult courses, social fencing and competitive training together in a dedicated Wimbledon venue. It’s a place to discover the sport, develop your skills and share the challenge with other fencers.

Whether you’re here to master the basics, enjoy a regular bout or work towards your next competition, we want the club to be a place that makes you want to come back.

A different kind of focus

Read the moment.
Trust your instinct.
Make your move.

Fencing asks you to be present. To think, react and adapt. Every bout is a fresh conversation between two people and two blades.

The art of épée

A physical game.
A thinking game.

Épée is a test of timing, distance and decision-making. The whole body is a target. Your challenge is to land a touch while protecting yourself from your opponent.

That combination of movement and strategy makes every bout different. You don’t need to arrive with all the answers. You just need a willingness to learn.

What matters here

More than the score.

Respect the bout.

Respect for opponents, coaches and the shared space is the foundation of a good fencing club.

Keep moving forward.

Progress can be a cleaner parry, a better decision or the confidence to try something new.

Find your way.

Enjoy the sport socially or train with competitive goals. There’s more than one way to be a fencer.
