We got a fencing course as a gift. We're complete amateurs, but the course was led absolutely wonderfully. Everything was explained to us, from the history of fencing to techniques and rules. I think it would take a fair number of hours for a person to really get "into it" at least a little better. We only had a one-hour course, but it was educational, fun, and we worked up quite a sweat. So it was a bit physically demanding too, which we really didn't mind. If circumstances allowed, I'd definitely like to take several more hours, but even just as an experience it's worth it and unforgettable. Thank you so much.

What people who have tried our courses, lessons, and team buildings say about Cyranova akademie.
I reached out to Cyranova akademie when my seven-year-old daughter came to me with a wish: "I'd like to learn to fence." Coach Anna was incredibly accommodating and managed to find time for us even in the busy pre-Christmas period, for which we're very grateful. The lesson exceeded all expectations. The teaching style is absolutely great — professional, yet accessible even for such a young fencer. Our daughter is thrilled, and for a sporty child it was exactly the right spark that opened up a new sport for her. We're looking forward to the next session!
This was truly an experience! I admit I wasn't too keen on redeeming this voucher from Santa, but it would have been a real shame not to! Within two hours, our instructor Anička completely won us over to fencing. First a warm-up and a bit of theory, then a fencing duel. A great experience for a layperson. And even a couch potato who isn't used to regular exercise can handle it. 😀
On April 25, 2025, my wife and I attended a fencing lesson. It was a wonderful experience. We were shown the basics and then got to enjoy fencing itself. Everything took place in a friendly atmosphere. Thank you.
The From Zero to Hero course with Richard was exactly what you need if you're looking for an introduction and grounding in sport fencing but only thought of it as an adult. The emphasis is on learning things not quickly, but correctly. I appreciate the pleasant atmosphere and approach toward us amateurs who'd never touched fencing before. Individual lessons are taught methodically, interspersed with examples from history and practice. Plus, you'll definitely have a good laugh. 🙂
I went for a beginner/discovery session with 3 friends, and it was wonderful! Anna and Richard are very passionate about fencing, it was a pleasure to practice with them and learn the basics about fencing. They can even tell you the history of that sport, from how it was created and how it has evolved to what it is now. I highly recommend to try it, it's a very fun activity to do with friends. Thanks again Anna and Richard ❤️
A great experience. I finally got to try this sport in all its glory, with professional equipment, under the guidance of great instructors. I warmly recommend it to anyone who has ever so much as mentioned this sport anywhere… Don't just watch it on TV, go and try it yourself. Now, thanks to Cyranova akademie, you can!
Never ever I imagined myself fencing, and never was into fencing. That said, until Anna and Richard came by, offering a team building with introduction on fencing, its history, practice and a tournament at the end with proper equipment. It was a hell lot of fun… and sweat. This is no boring lesson behind a desk listening to history and learning techniques "verbally". This one packs action, and I found out what it looks like from behind a visor. This experience made me submit my first public review ever, consider that.
I had an incredible time at the fencing session! Anna and Richard were amazing instructors who made the experience both fun and informative. They started by walking us through the general information about fencing, ensuring we felt comfortable and understood the basics. The warm-up they provided was thorough and got us energized for the session. The way they taught the moves was clear and easy to follow, making it perfect for beginners like me. If you've ever wanted to give fencing a try, I can't recommend this enough — it's absolutely beginner-friendly and so much fun! A big thank you to Anna and Richard for such a fantastic introduction to this sport! 🤺
Excellent organization, professional equipment, a great experience — an unusual sport, you get to try every detail that fencing involves.
Took a fencing class with Anna and Richard — it was amazing! They're both skilled, patient, and made the lesson so much fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try something new and exciting!
An absolute blast! We tried the course as a team building activity and couldn't praise our instructors Anna and Richard enough. They had patience even with the biggest amateurs (like me). Plus, I got to stab my colleagues without consequences while we had a great time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our fencing teambuilding was a total hit! The instructors were amazing, teaching us everything from the basics to the art of the duel. We had a blast learning and competing together. If you're looking for a unique teambuilding activity that's both fun and memorable, fencing is a fantastic choice. It's a great way to bond with your team and create lasting memories 🤺🏆
A great team growing event! The final tournament was really excellent, we all threw ourselves into the bouts and, even as energy ran low, everyone fought to the end 🙂. I'd highlight the patience and care of instructors Anna and Richard while practicing the basic moves and sharing information about the history and present of the sport. Facilities and equipment were top notch. Group size: 8, duration ~120 min. Note: it's definitely not just walking around in white gear 😉.
