Fencing with Pernille Svarre

Now in its sixthyear, the fencing week at Club La Santa gives you the opportunity to try fencing with former Modern Pentathlon World champion, Pernille Svarre.

The week is for everyone from 12 years of age and upwards, who wants to try a different sport or just for the personal challenge.

Find your inner musketeer, get rid of your aggression, get in shape and learn how to be 100% ”there”.

We will explore the interesting world of fencing, where, without a doubt, you will test yourself both mentally and physically.

Fencing is psychological warfare on the highest level, not only against your opponent but also against yourself.

You will be taught technique, tactics and lots of battle practice.
Physically, you will train your legs, abdominals and back, while learning the art of coordinating your arms with your legs in various stances which of course, is very important.

Comment from a former participant, Alex Keegan:

“I had no idea what “fencing” would be like, but I was keen to try, especially as the teacher was a world champion and Olympian! I began very nervously and felt very unfit, but after the first day I enjoyed it more and more (and discovered muscles I didn’t know I had.) I enjoyed the five-day course so much that I immediately signed up for another one! The teaching was excellent and while fencing is mentally demanding and certainly raises a sweat, the training was great fun. I returned to England keen to find a local
fencing club. It’s great that in one week you can discover a new sport and quickly develop so that fencing bouts become an enjoyable challenge. I highly recommend the course!”
