Getting Started

Our classes are arranged by skill level and by age. We urge you to look over our class descriptions. New fencers should look into taking one of our beginner classes to get started.

Beginning classes introduce the fundamentals of the sport as well as promote coordination and overall physical fitness. Our skilled instructors use a wide variety of games, drills, exercises, bouting, and other activities to create a fun and challenging experience. All necessary equipment is provided for beginning through Level II classes.

*Students with no prior fencing experience may take either a Beginner or  Level I class in the appropriate age bracket.
