Salle Hunt-Roeder

Club History

        Hunt-Roeder is not only one of the few specialist sabre clubs in Britain , but also one of the oldest. It was founded as Phoenix Fencing Club over 40 years ago, with the name being changed to Salle Roeder in 1982 by the eccentric French coach Francois Roeder. In 1998, the club became Salle Hunt-Roeder to reflect many years of hard work and expertise by coach Dennis Hunt.Following the addition of Kevin Nelson to the coaching staff, it was decided to introduce foil as an additional weapon in January 2010.
