Being part of Fencers Club London for the last 4 years has given me so much: amazing coaching, fantastic training, strength and conditioning that has used muscles I didn’t know I had, as well as a real sense of community. FCL is more than just a fencing club, it has become almost my second home and family! Even during Covid, when we were locked away inside our houses, the time we spent together on Zoom built bonds and experiences that went beyond just fencing. But training hard, competing hard, travelling, spending time abroad at camps - only fencers can really understand the highs, the lows, the tears and the frustration, but at the same time the absolute exhilaration of being on the piste with a sword in your hand. Carpe diem - embodies how we are at FCL, and how I think of it. Seizing every day to learn new skills, try new things, laugh at more terrible jokes and build precious memories to store up when you need them most, and then building some more the next day!
