"I want to do better but don't know where to start"
At HEMA Enhance, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, personalised guidance to help you improve.
​
Whether you’re a novice fencer without a coach nearby for advice and support…
​
Or a tournament competitor who can’t quite make it to the winners podium…
​
If you’re looking to take your training to the next level or break through a plateau…
​
Our team of expert mentors can help, drawing on years of teaching experience and competitive success.
​
Technique tips. Mental game advice. Confidence building. Habits to add to your routine.
​
Every fencer is different and our online mentoring can help you target and fill in the gaps in your training.
Gaz genuinely cares about our progress and goes the extra mile by offering personalized advice, not just on HEMA itself, but also on external factors that can improve our overall well-being. For example, he might suggest ways to get better sleep so we can come to training sessions feeling fitter.

Goal setting
The first part of our mentoring service is goal setting. Using your completed questionnaire and after chatting in this first session we will be able to set some clear goals to work towards.

Delivery
Delivery will take place over a number of mentoring sessions. A development programme will be produced and a range of processes and tools will be implemented to help you to achieve your goals.
To find an instructor who is a great teacher but is also still happy to learn and be a student is not something that happens often. Jon has a great mindset and an instructor I would hand on heart recommend.
