Fencing in Islington
Includes: Épée Fencing, Foil Fencing and Sabre Fencing.
Fencing is the sport of fighting with swords known as an épée, foil or sabre. There are three weapons in fencing each with its own rules. The foil and épée are light thrusting weapons. The foil may target the torso, neck and groin, whereas the heavier épée may target the entire body. The sabre is a light cutting and thrusting weapon that targets the entire body above the waist. Techniques such as the attack, riposte, feint and lunge are used offensively while others, such as the parry, are used defensively.
Fencing developed from an ancient form of combat and is one of only four sports to have featured at every modern Olympics. Fencing is great for all-round fitness, muscle toning, building core strength, coordination and balance and people of all ages can compete in the sport. After the Olympic Games of 1924, the Italian and Hungarian teams settled a scoring controversy with a real-life duel!

Organises overseas expeditions
HulaHub makes it much, much easier!
"I have been running wilderness adventure challenges for the past twenty years as well as being an adventurer myself. One of my issues has always been making contact with enough like minded people to make an adventure viable. Whether it is going to the North Pole or ascending unclimbed peaks in the wildernesses of Eastern Europe, it has been tricky to reach out to good people and put your dream on other people’s radar."
Personal trainer
HulaHub helps me manage my appointments
"One of the biggest issues for one-to-one personal trainers like me is last minute cancellations and not getting paid for those sessions. With HulaHub I can choose whether I refund or not for a client missing an appointment, which is much better for me. It's also easy to reschedule and offer an alternative that suits us both."
