About
Dragonhead Fencing Club is a sports club and fencing school located in Brighton on the South Coast of Sussex. Specialising in three-weapon training and coaching, Dragonhead offers a unique and comprehensive experience for fencers of all levels.
Fencing, known for its speed and agility, is a sport that develops both physical and mental agility. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced fencer, Dragonhead has something to offer you. The club focuses on refining reflexes, enhancing rapid decision-making, and improving agility to catch opponents off-guard.
In addition to speed and agility, fencing also promotes balance and strength. As a full-body sport, it improves core strength for balance and stability, develops powerful legs, glutes, and hips for explosive actions, and strengthens the back and arms for precise, formidable attacks.
At Dragonhead, tactics and strategy play a crucial role in fencing. Often compared to chess, fencing requires fencers to out-think their adversaries under pressure, mislead and deceive opponents to claim victory, and hone their observational skills to gain tactical information.
To further enhance performance, Dragonhead offers performance training. This type of training uses scenario- and problem-based practise to develop technical, tactical, and strategic capabilities. Squad training is used to create opportunities to workshop specific skills and strategies against a range of opponents. By putting techniques into practise with restricted rules, fencers can experience more focused improvement and enhance the value of other training sessions.
Dragonhead Fencing Club also offers a youth group for ages 8-12, located in Hollingbury, Brighton & Hove. This provides younger fencers with a safe and supportive environment to learn and grow.
With a dedicated and knowledgeable coaching staff, state-of-the-art facilities, and a passion for the sport, Dragonhead Fencing Club is the place to be for anyone interested in fencing in the Brighton area. Join today and experience the many benefits that fencing can offer both on and off the piste.
