Salle JEUDI opened the Milton

Keynes Branch in the autumn

of 1995 at the Wavendon Gate

Pavilion. It drew immediately

from the core of young fencers

from the Leighton Buzzard

Area and soon started getting

Enquiries from both established

adult fencers and beginners. The club thrived on hard work and soon local residents began to take an interest. At its height in 1999 there were over 30 on the books. It soon became obvious that the venue was to small and the club moved to Wavendon First school in the village, where the Club now resides.
Over the following two years many of our established fencers moved away from the area or in the case of the juniors went off to colleges and universities. These were difficult to replace. The club was still healthy and producing fencers of a high standard one had come to expect from a Salle JEUDI unit. Over the following years the club maintained its high standards and this was born out by the results obtained at various competitions the members entered.
David our coach had been appointed fencing master at the local high school in the autumn of 2000 taking curriculum time-tabled classes on Wednesday afternoons.

A resurgence in the junior squad from this school and the lower schools in the area lead to the founding of the Musketeers squad of junior fencers.

We now have a thriving junior section, many of these now compete at national tournaments throughout the UK.
Many of these also fence at Salle JEUDI HQ in Bedford were they are gaining valuable experience against the much more experienced junior fencers. If you want to fence Salle JEUDI MK and The Musketeers can teach you all you need to know

Footwork is of paramount importance. The means of delivering an attack or the avenue of escape and counter-offensive in times of trouble. Practice can bring all pupils to a high degree of competence.

Footwork allied with good accurate bladework is the essence of good fencing.

You can never be a good fencer without mobility.

In line with our philosophy our young sabre specialist takes a single line group lesson on simple footwork. This will add to the students confidence, at the same time help an instructor under training to understand the difficulties of running a simple lesson.

A Lesson from
a Master

Remember there is very little that is new in fencing technique.
It has developed in Europe over the past 1000 years.

Duelling, be it on the field of honour or the battlefield, was always Dangerous.
Fencing is now a sport, with safety paramount.
This enables the modern fencer to be swifter and fence closer to their opponent  than their ancestors.

Despite the best efforts of mercenaries, certain former pupils and feline females, (so he say’s.)

our founder and senior instructor reached the age of 65 years. As this historic date coincided with our club night he invited members from our sister clubs and  a few former pupils to the party.

Some party! We had to work just as hard if not harder for the first hour. Then he softened and we were able to watch some of the former pupils who were very good. Leo and Ralf fenced with most of us and we all realise the truth of what Dave had said. Mobility is part of the secret of fencing.
