Dynamic Training Environment - Footwork, Skills, Sparring and Competition Development

The Dream Fencing Summer Camp is intended to provide a dynamic training environment for fencers wishing to develop skills for competition. Fencers of all abilities are welcome - coaches will tailor sessions to fencers ability, with the focus on footwork, skills and sparring.

Fitness sessions are specifically designed to increase levels of fitness for fencing with the focus on aerobic and lower-body muscular strength, endurance and agility.

60 athletes from 16 different countries were participating in the biggest Dream Fencing International Epee Camp so far. One of the main reasons for the growth was the excellent reviews we received from previews years.

In 2017 was the first time for fencers from Russia, USA, Germany, France, Austria, Spain, Finland, Brazil, Poland, Barbados and UAE.
