Limerick School of Arms
Providing instruction in the fine art of fencing since 2003
Part of Classical Fencing Ireland
The Limerick School of Arms is the only dedicated fencing facility in Ireland. Initially it will be concerned with teaching Foil of the Classical French school and is the only school in the country that teaches how to fence.
At the Limerick
School of Arms we practice fencing according to how it was fenced when
it was still preparation for the duel.
Essentially we fence under the proviso that no action be taken that would
not be undertaken were we fencing with sharps.
Tuition at the school aims to draw out the individual style of each fencer to give them a manner of fencing that they are comfortable with and that is a clear experssion of their personality.
As it is a martial art it takes a number of weeks training before one is up to a standard where one can free fence, and one should never be expected to fence before one is ready.
The first lesson is free.
