Classes
Beginning Fencing Class:
This course is specifically designed for both youth (preferred age +12) and adult fencers, allowing them optimal development of fundamental fencing skills for either foil or epee with minimal frustration. There will be an emphasis on drills and controlled bouting as an instructional method to reinforce the learning of new skills. Students will receive their own washable fencing glove on the first day of class. All protective gear will be loaned to the student for the duration of the first 8 class sessions. Once a student progresses beyond the beginning level, (about 8 sessions,) they are expected to purchase their own equipment. Students will be required to purchase a glove the first night of class. All other equipment will be provided.
One class per week - $60/month
Intermediate Competitive Epee Fencing
The intermediate instruction is based on coach’s assessment to the individual fencer’s needs. It introduces and develops hand techniques, drills, more advanced footwork and mobility, and bout techniques. In addition, this class will introduce the student to competition utilizing instruction in bout building, bout strategy, and competition preparation. No equipment is provided.
