About Corporate Fencing Workshops
Why Fencing for Teams?
I see fencing as physical chess - it’s not just about fitness, it’s a game of strategy and quick thinking. When I run these corporate fencing workshops, I want folks to get more than just sweaty. You’ll laugh, challenge each other, and get your mind working in new ways.
What Happens in the Workshop
- No one needs to be sporty or know fencing. I start from zero.
- We kick off with some basics so everyone’s on the same page, then get moving with some warm-ups (expect to feel your legs!).
- After that, I’ll show you the essential moves - footwork, attacks, parries. Don’t worry, it’s way more fun than it sounds.
- Once you’ve got the hang of it, you’ll suit up and duel your teammates. Always safe, always friendly.
More Than Just a Game
- Fencing trains your mind to be sharp and strategic. You’ll pick up focus, resilience, and a bit of confidence you didn’t know you had.
- These are the same skills you need for a successful team at work. That’s why companies come back for another round.
Safety & Logistics
- Modern protective gear keeps everyone safe. I don’t compromise on that.
- I bring all the equipment and set up wherever you want - office, hotel, you name it.
If your team is tired of the usual stuff and wants something different, my team building fencing session might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Lohith Vijay
My Story
Hey, Lohith here. Used to fence for India, coached the team too. Always wondered, why aren’t we winning more in Olympics? So, we started Bengaluru Fencing Club - me, Vivek, Eshwar, Vishwas. People think fencing’s risky, but trust me, it’s super safe, like playing chess with your body. We even do Ayudha Pooja, respect our gear, our journey. Watching students like Niharika win medals, or Omprasad push himself, that’s what makes it worth it. It’s all about giving folks the chance.
