Wheelchair Fencing Edinburgh

Overview

The simplest way to explain fencing is tag with swords. For standing fencing, you run up and down the piste like a crab, for seated or wheelchair fencing, you're strapped into a chair on a metal frame. At Dunedin Fencing Club our goal is to provide opportunity for everyone to join in fencing as part of being connected to a community and looking after your own health and well-being. In partnership with Scottish and British Fencing we have Olympic standard wheelchair fencing equipment and we've worked with wheelchair fencers from beginners to national athletes.
