About Us

Established in 2014 Braveheart Fencing was started by one woman, born of the love of epee fencing and has been a family enterprise for the past 6 years. We are one of four fencing salles in Scotland and the only training centre dedicated to epee alone. Children from the age of 7 and adults alike partake in classes alongside each other twice a week at our venue in Glasgow. Braveheart Fencing is a genuinely friendly, welcoming and inclusive place to train whether you are a complete beginner or in the top 50 in the UK. 
Run by husband and wife team, "The Jamiesons", we believe that actions speak louder than words and the best revenge is massive success. If you show up and try your hardest you may surprise yourself.
We are also open to the public for taster session bookings any day of the week and can even travel to you for your own fencing event.

Coaches

Laura Jamieson

Founder and Children's Coach

Laura has over 10 years of fencing experience and a Level 3 Coaching Award from the British Academy of Fencing. Known to some as "Mamma Braveheart" it is not only her role to coach the children's classes but also to make sure that everyone is happy. Having spent most of her life working with children Laura is used to taking on a motherly role but this doesn't mean she won't work you hard!
Laura first met her future husband, Bjarne, at a fencing club in 2011 when she had already been fencing for 3 years and it wasn't long before she picked him out as her coach. It was also Bjarne that first got Laura into coaching and they have been a great partnership ever since. Finally in 2018 Laura and Bjarne tied the knot!

Bjarne Jamieson

Head Coach

Bjarne is our most experienced coach with 30 years of fencing experience across Europe. He has worked with fencers of all levels, from beginners to international fencers since 1992. He holds a Diploma Epee Coaching Award (Level 5) from the British Academy of Fencing.
​ He is passionate about epee fencing and is always happy to give his time to those who wish to learn.
"Loyalty is everything in your fencing success, it makes fencing masters work for you" - Bac H Tau 
Bjarne has been instrumental in the development of the salle since 2015 and when he is not giving individual lessons to our fencers, he is usually trying to keep up with equipment maintenance or renovating our building!
