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

Discover a club built around the challenge, enjoyment and connection of fencing.
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.
Fencing asks you to be present. To think, react and adapt. Every bout is a fresh conversation between two people and two blades.

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.
Respect for opponents, coaches and the shared space is the foundation of a good fencing club.
Progress can be a cleaner parry, a better decision or the confidence to try something new.
Enjoy the sport socially or train with competitive goals. There’s more than one way to be a fencer.
