Introduction to Classical Fencing
This is our foundational class, and all students should begin here.
We cover the basics of footwork and the beginning of bladework in a very organized and sequential way.
Because each class builds on the one before it, and leads to the one after it, it is important not to miss classes.
Please consider your schedule and the dates of the classes before registering.
A student who misses two classes in a row, or more than two total may not be able to continue in the class, and will not be able to progress without repeating the entire series.
We currently run this class three times per year: in the Fall (Sept-Nov), in the Winter (Feb-Apr), and in the Spring (Apr-Jun).This class is open to students from the ages of 8-up, and adults (especially parents!) are welcome.
The lower age requirement of 8 years old is a hard limit, for developmental reasons. We do not make exceptions. More information here.
The next intro series class will begin on Sept 17th, 2017 Ten weeks, $100   |
