Olympic Fencing

Fencing is a vigorous sport that requires and develops stamina, quick reactions, speed, accuracy of movement and excellent coordination. It utilizes natural body movements 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 are fencing for a good workout or gaining points for the Olympics, fencing is fun for the whole family. The final day of class includes a competitive tournament between all participants of all ages. A prize will be awarded to the winner of the tournament. We provide everything needed to fence (mask, jacket, glove and weapon). Come dressed comfortably including long sweat pants and athletic shoes.
