Fencing – Beginner

For youth and adults ages 7+ with little to no fencing experience. This class introduces Olympic-style foil fencing, where participants will learn basic footwork, blade work, and foundational techniques while developing reaction time, coordination, and point control. Students will also learn fencing etiquette, safety, and the basic rules of a bout. All fencing equipment is provided – please wear court shoes, loose-fitting full-length pants, and a short-sleeved t-shirt.

We are committed to growing your skills and confidence with each class and provide FREE Sunday Practice Sessions for all program participants (registration required). Fencing is a complex sport that requires regular practice and consistency. Attendance is encouraged each week, with options for private lessons available for those looking to progress their technique faster.
