Sporty, challenging and fun. Feel free to come and have a look and \/ or sign up for our 3 trial lessons. We have two training locations in Veldhoven and in Eindhoven and two training days, Monday and Thursday. All weapons are trained. With this we hope to be the fencing club for Southeast Brabant, with attention for all branches of the fencing sport.En Garde was created after the merger of PSV Schermen and SV Courage and represents more than 130 years of fencing experience.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"insert-page-title\">Ma\u00eetres<\/h1>\n<table style=\"height: 1037px;\" width=\"769\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5522\" src=\"https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Vic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Vic.jpg 400w, https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Vic-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/td>\n<td><strong>Vic Hartog<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Head trainer<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fechtkunst.org\/\">Akademie der Fechtkunst Deutschlands (ADFD)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Acad\u00e9mie d\u2019Armes Internationale (AAI)<\/li>\n<li>Member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schermleraren.nl\/\">Dutch Academy of fencing teachers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5661\" src=\"https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bas-dekkers-e1773236742710.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bas-dekkers-e1773236742710.png 291w, https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bas-dekkers-e1773236742710-250x250.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/td>\n<td><strong>Bas Dekkers<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Trainer 15 years and older<\/p>\n<p>Foil and \u00c9p\u00e9e coach<br \/>\n-Trainer-coach-Schermen (KSS3) Level 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5683\" src=\"https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PC140092-Enhanced-NR-Square-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PC140092-Enhanced-NR-Square-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PC140092-Enhanced-NR-Square-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PC140092-Enhanced-NR-Square-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PC140092-Enhanced-NR-Square-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PC140092-Enhanced-NR-Square-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/svcourage.nl\/engarde\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PC140092-Enhanced-NR-Square-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/td>\n<td><strong>Chantal Nahr<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Trainer 7 &#8211;
