Our Fencing Program
Our fencing program is led by Gilbert Bekking, a former Dutch national junior champion who won the title twice and was internationally ranked among the top 100 fencers in the world by the FIE.
Training takes place at our fencing center, on the second floor (unit 63-2) above the boarding house. We use Olympic weapons: foil and épée, and follow international rules throughout all sessions.
Each group class runs for 2 hours, five times per week. Each student receives 1 hour of individual lessons per week, divided into three 20‑minute one‑on‑one sessions with the coach.
