Classes  - En Garde!


 We have beginner and advanced group fencing classes.  We offer classes for both children (ages 6—13 years) and also for adults ages 13 years and up. The beginner classes provides a sound foundation of the sport. The classes meet 1 hour per week for children and 1 1/2 hours per week for adults.  Each session meets for 8 weeks.  Activities include warm up, footwork and blade work exercises and bouting.

 You learn about the equipment , as well as the basic rules and etiquette of the sport of fencing.  You will learn the guard position, basic attacks and defensive moves. Under the training of a qualified coach, you begin to practice the  fundamentals of fencing. 

 All safety and training equipment is provided for the classes.  Safety and fun are emphasized.  Please wear loose fitting sweat pants and tennis shoes.  We have a water fountain or you may prefer to bring a sports drink.

More bouting takes place in the advanced class.  You will be taught more strategic moves and techniques.  You will soon be ready to bout for fun or competition.

Camps


Our camps are a great way to learn the beginning fundamentals of fencing, as well as a way to for the novice fencer to improve his/her fencing skills. We offer weeklong camps, mini camps, and 1 day Saturday camps.

The camp program includes footwork drills, games, groups drills, and individual lessons that will strengthen technique and tactics.  Bouting reinforces these skills and allows the coach a chance to evaluate your performance and determine areas for improvement.  Simple weapon maintenance will also be addressed in the weeklong camp.
