Hi All,
I hope you are all safe and well. You would have just received an email from the HFC Committee and DWFC Committee regarding the closure of the Fencing Club on a Monday evening and Tuesday evening for the foreseeable future. Obviously training will resume at some point however, we can't sit at home and do nothing so I will be posting fencing exercises, plans and routines for all our club members. This isn't compulsory and I won't be chasing members up like teachers chasing school homework, or will I? However, if you are competing and taking your fencing seriously then it would be a good time to get some pre-season training in and work on many of those habits that both Sophie, James and I have been nagging you about for the last six months!

There will be content posted which some of you may have already seen on facebook, instagram and youtube. If we are posting this content then we would recommend doing it, don't trust every exercise you see on social media as there are definitely some interesting ones out there and it probably won't benefit your fencing. Please do not post your own content as I will tray and structure the content so one exercise leads on to another. If you have recommendations please email them to me here. A lot of the content which will be posted and made available to you I have paid for personally over the years I have been coaching and training; so please make sure you do not share this information and please do not share your log in details with anyone else. This section is for club members only! |
This is my first time doing a blog, so please don't judge my literacy skills! Please make sure that comments are sensible (kids), we don't mind people having fun but this section of the website is for you to take away information and use it to improve your fencing. I will post on the Blog and in the HFC Facebook groups everytime new information and exercises have been posted! Draig Wern Members please join the HFC Facebook Group below as it will save multiple posts.
For those of you who are on the Coaches Eye package this is the perfect time to do some video analysis work on your footwork/ fitness and upload it for the coaches to see and give feedback on. I will also be posting videos into Coaches Eye for you to watch and give feedback on as well. If you aren't on Coaches Eye and would like to be then you can sign up via this link or contact me directly for more information.
Please make sure you listen to the rules and advice regarding self isolation and take them seriously, stay safe and keep fencing! (Remember there is no such thing as perfection, there is always room for improvement)
