JAMES BEEVERS OLY

 

James Beevers is a 3rd generation fencer who followed the success of his father, mother and grandfather, who all fenced at international and Olympic level.

 

At the age of eight, he started fencing and has since won every British national title including being a four-time Senior British champion. James has represented Great Britain at 14 World & European Championships and was a member of the British team at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

 

Following his retirement from the sport in 2009, James founded the very successful Little Musketeers fencing program which reaches over 350 schools teaching 3000 children each week in the UK. As a father of two young children, James has carefully developed exercises with executive functions and whole-child development in mind while gently exposing them to the sport of fencing.
