Brixton Sabre is south London’s only specialist sabre club. Our coach, Paolo Gattavari ex Italian U23 sabre fencer, gives one-to-one sabre lessons and runs sabre courses for beginners.
We’re a group of mixed ability sabre fencers – from beginners to veteran internationals – who got together to offer South London’s only dedicated sabre nights. We welcome any sabre fencers who want to join us for one-off sessions and we have several regular visitors who come each month. You can also join us to become a member. We train every week on Tuesday nights and also compete in national and international competitions.
We welcome beginners so don’t worry if you’ve never fenced before. You don’t need to buy equipment. Just tell us you want to try it out and we’ll show you the basics in a fully insured beginners’ course.
We’re in Brixton Recreation Centre (SW9 8QQ) right beside Brixton tube and rail stations from 7.30pm-9.30pm on Tuesday nights.
