These weekly classes focus on building the mechanical and technical foundations for sabre and foil fencing.
Students are more than welcome to participate in both sabre and foil classes to determine their preferred weapon.

 

The beginners will be led through dynamic warm-ups and stretching with particular emphasis on balance, hand-eye coordination, and attentiveness to the instructor. Classes will cover the en garde position, forward and backward motion, and lunges. Students will be introduced to basic bladework and tactical concepts throughout the course.

​

As these classes are taught on a rolling basis, prospective students are encouraged to take an introductory one-on-one lesson with one of our coaches to familiarize themselves with the basic stance, footwork, and bladework before joining the class. This is also an opportunity for students and parents to ask questions about the sport or the club.
