Fencing Classes with Sword Play! For All Ages

Fencing is a vigorous sport that requires and develops stamina, quick reactions, speed, accuracy of movement and excellent coordination. More than a game, fencing requires a mental attitude of self discipline involving total manipulation of mind and body in perfect harmony. It utilizes natural body movement to create simple and effective self-protection techniques with the sword. Attacking, defense, timing and intense tactics are all integrated into this beginning class. Whether you're fencing for a good work out, or gaining points for the Olympics, fencing is fun for the whole family (See our youth class too). Our trainers work with both the beginner and advanced in the class. We provide everything needed to fence (mask, jacket, glove, and sword). Dress comfortably (for freedom of movement) including long sweat pants and running shoes.

No discounts on this class.

No class on Feb. 11 or Apr. 1.
