Beginner Classes
We offer several beginner classes for a variety of age groups. Our group classes teach fundamental footwork and bladework technique, tactics and strategy.

Kids Classes (ages 8-11)

Foil Mon/Wed 4:30-5:30pm
  Tues/Thurs 4:30-5:30pm
Sabre Mon/Wed 5:30-6:30pm

Junior Classes (ages 11-16)

Foil Mon/Wed 4:30-5:30pm
  Tues/Thurs 5:30-6:30pm
Sabre Mon/Wed 5:30-6:30pm

Adult Class (ages 16+)

Foil Mon/Wed 7:30-8:30pm

All classes meet twice a week, and continue month-to-month. We take new beginners every other month: in September, November, January, March, and May. The fee is $120 per month, $60 for short months (December and June). Continuing students may join classes at the beginning of any month.

All fencing equipment is provided. Students should wear long pants or sweat pants, T-shirt, and clean athletic shoes (no street shoes). Slip-on "athletic-style" shoes do not provide enough lateral support and are unsuitable for fencing.

We offer group classes in foil and sabre. We also have a junior epee class for students with previous fencing experience. Generally our coaches' schedules do not allow us to teach beginners with individual lessons.

Due to the large number of competitions scheduled on weekends, and because most of our staff are either coaching, refereeing, or organizing at these competitions, we are unable to offer weekend classes.
