Lagos Fencing Club
When you hear “fencing,” your mind probably jumps to old movies with people shouting “En garde!” in fancy accents, or maybe Zorro slashing a giant “Z” into a wall. But guess what? You don’t need a Hollywood set to live out your sword-fighting dreams, Lagos Fencing Club has you covered.
Tucked away at 6A Otunba Adedoyin Ogungbe Crescent, Lekki, this state-of-the-art fencing facility is where Lagosians swap their gym leggings for white uniforms, pick up a foil (that’s the fancy word for the sword), and learn how to channel their inner gladiator.
The club offers something for everyone: group lessons, private coaching, and open fencing sessions for when you’re ready to put your skills to the test. And don’t worry, you won’t be left to figure out swordplay from YouTube tutorials. Lagos Fencing Club has internationally trained coaches who actually know what they’re doing. Whether your goal is to compete at an international level or just find a new way to stay fit that doesn’t involve running from LASTMA, you’ll be in safe hands.
Now, here’s the fun part, fencing isn’t just about sword-fighting and looking cool (though, honestly, that’s a solid reason to try). It’s also a mental workout. Kids who fence learn discipline, resilience, focus, and confidence. Adults, on the other hand, get to sharpen their reflexes, strategy, and probably their social life too. Think of fencing as gym + chess + swordplay all rolled into one.
And yes, before you duel, you’ll warm up with footwork drills, stretches, and exercises designed to keep you fit and injury-free. Basically, you’ll burn calories, improve your posture, and still get to tell people you spent your evening “training with swords.” How’s that for bragging rights?
So if you’re tired of the same old gym routine, or you want your kids to pick up a hobby that makes them confident and sharp (instead of just glued to cartoons), Lagos Fencing Club is where you should be.
