Meet the coaching team lead by head coach Alex Agrenich.

Alex Agrenich - Head Coach (Academy Coach)

Peter has been coaching since 1979 after an international fencing career. Now based in Plymouth, he is best known as one of the founders and driving forces behind Haverstock Fencing Club. Peter has been the GB Junior Men's Epee coach since 1998 and has an international reputation as a leading epee coach.

Pete says: "Technique builds speed"

A former top fencer and all round sports man, John was one of the first British coaches to graduate with a Hungarian Diploma, from the same course Andy Pavaday later attended to become a Fencing Master. He is a founder member of Haverstock fencing club and a former paratrooper, cross him at your peril!

A Haverstock club coach, 'Pavs' has been fencing for over 20 years and does not only have the coolest hairdo in world fencing, he is also a world champion: taking the gold medal in the 1999 World Police and Fire Games Championship. He received his Hungarian Diploma in all three weapons in the summer of 2007.

Andy says: "The point should get to the target in the shortest route possible. No mucking about!"

Having retired from international fencing where he competed for Great Britain at World Cups events and for Wales in Commonwealth Games and Home Nation tournaments, Neale is now a full time coach working at Redhill & Reigate Epee Club enjoying international scuess with his son Gareth.

As Stockport Sword Clubs head coach, Andy has trained numerous fencers that have competed at Commonwealth, European and World Championships in all age groups. He was the second youngest diploma master at the age of 28 and is the only British epee coach to have trainned a World Cup winner.
