Fencing requires perfect synergy between individuals. Participants learn to communicate better, plan, and support one another — key skills they'll also value in their professional lives.
During fencing, every team member has to quickly assess the situation and choose the best strategy. This ability easily transfers to the workplace as well.
Participants face challenges that seem daunting at first glance. Together they overcome fear and gain new confidence in their abilities.
Our programs are enriched with historical context and atmosphere that transport you to a time when fencing was not only a sport, but also an art and a way of life.
Our experienced instructors are masters of sport fencing and ensure every participant has a positive and safe experience.
We tailor the team building to your needs — from a short workshop session to a full-day experience with the option of adding further activities.
We hold events at our fencing hall with a stylish setting and professional equipment, or right at your location — we take care of everything.
After welcoming participants, the instructor covers the history of fencing and its evolution through the centuries to its present-day form. Then comes a warm-up to loosen up muscles and joints for the activity ahead. Next comes teaching the basic stance, footwork, and attacks under the instructor's supervision. Then we help participants get properly dressed in fencing gear, and the bouts can begin.
A fencing scoring apparatus records the course of the bouts, refereed by the instructor. Participants receive ongoing feedback and can ask the instructor questions. After a few practice bouts, the fencers are split into several groups and compete against each other in a team competition. We have several competition formats ready — this part of the team building traditionally gets the biggest response.
Full of impressions from the bouts and an activity they'd always wanted to try but often never had the chance, participants unhook from the piste and the instructor presents them with a certificate of completion for this fencing course.
Non-alcoholic drinks and light refreshments are available to participants during the event.
WE GUARANTEE YOUR COLLEAGUES WILL BE THRILLED!
We'll fine-tune the specific scope together, but we most often choose one of these formats.
A shorter format to complement a company event, kick-off, or afternoon program. Enough time for a warm-up, basics, and short bouts.
Three to four hours of fencing from the basics to a tournament. The team has time to really get a feel for the technique, and everyone gets to compete.
Fencing as the main part of a company day. Can be complemented with further activities, presentations, or a shared lunch.
We primarily hold events at our fencing hall, but by arrangement we'll come to you too.
