There are reasons that we are unique
Fun and unusual
At Sword Fighting International, we've taken the exciting and elegant Olympic sport of fencing; extracted the focus, strategy and tactics relevant to modern business, and created unique and unusual fencing-based team building events that are memorable, motivating and great fun!
Unique experiential activity that you may not have tried before
Unique to Sword Fighting International, Get the Point harnesses the power of PRISM Brain Mapping behavioural profiling, and integrates it with our exciting fencing activities to provide an experiential learning programme which is fully adaptable to your training goals.
Our Get the Point programme can be run as a full, or half day, depending on your required learning outcomes, and is led by a fully qualified PRISM profiling practitioner and fencing instructor. For further information and ⁄ or advice on how Get the Point can be used in your organisation, please contact us.
Flexible on locations
We can run your sessions from almost anywhere: fields, gardens, conference rooms and even hotel lobbies. Wherever you are or whatever you have in mind we can make it happen.
There are many benefits to doing fencing activities
Team building and motivation
Fun for all, our fencing activities energise team members and create a memorable event that will re-invigorate all towards the company's goals.
development of communication skills
The most effective teams are the ones that recognise their own and others' behavioural and communication styles and adapt accordingly. Our Get the Point! programme weaves team-based experiential learning around PRISM Brain Mapping, to build self-awareness and highly effective, communicating teams.
Staff Retention
Companies known for their benefits as well as their financial packages will both build loyalty and attract the best talent. Team building and motivational activities which are fun, new and challenging help to build a buzz about your organisation.
Experiential learning
People learn better by experiencing something than by just being told about it - your company's message can be engrained more effectively, yet subtly when entwined with our sword fighting experience.
talent identification
Latent attitudes, behaviours, skills and capabilities are more easily identified in an experiential team activity - we can help your business identify leaders and other high performing executives. Our Get the Point! Programme is particularly suitable for this.
Change Management
For some people, adapting to change comes easily and it can be difficult for them to understand why others, including their direct reports, cannot adapt in the same way.
Although many people have seen fencing in the Olympics, few have tried it. This creates a level playing field where all participants have to adapt to something new. Post-activity analysis can help managers understand what their teams might be going through when change is enforced upon them.
Sales Training
The strategies and tactics of fencing are directly relevant to key sales concepts such as focussing on targets and understanding your competition, and can help demonstrate these fundamental objectives in a fun, experiential way.
Mental stimulation and relaxation
The multi-faceted aspect of fencing provides an activity that stimulates 'thinking' as well as 'doing'. The high levels of concentration required in fencing ensures total immersion in the activity, refreshing and clearing the brain of other stresses and concerns. Particularly useful in intense meeting situations where difficult issues need to be debated, or creative scenarios where 'blue sky' thinking is required.
