Currently
we have regular fencing practice for experienced fencers on
Tuesday and Thursday night from 7pm-10pm as well as a Saturday
afternoon practice from 12pm-4pm. During this time we have group
footwork and conditioning, open bouting, and private lessons. Students
must supply their own equipment for regular practice.
For
adults and teens interested in fencing we offer beginner lessons on
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm-7pm. These classes cover the
fundamentals of foil or sabre fencing that start the fencer on the right track
through footwork, blade work, and drills. After successful completion of beginner lessons, students are able to attend regular practice and continue to receive instruction. All equipment is provided for this class, but
students may purchase their own gear through our club manager, Aaron
Stuewe, if they wish.
For
children interested in fencing we offer a children's beginner fencing
class that meets on Tuesdays from 5pm-6pm or Thursdays from 4pm-5pm. This class
focuses on instilling fundamental fencing skills while at the same time
having a lot of fun! Fencing is a great sport for kids to help develop
their minds and bodies while focusing their energy in a constructive
way. All equipment is provided.
