Ann Arbor YMCA • Beginning Fencing

    Ages: 8 and up

    Skill Level: beginner

    Duration: 10:00 AM-11:00 AM

    Days of the Week: Saturday

    Register



    Fencing is a mental and physical high-energy sport that combines the intrigue of sword play with cardiovascular conditioning. An age-old art originally vital for self-defense, fencing is practiced today for its own sake. Students study footwork and blade technique, and work to develop speed, timing, leverage and precision. The result is a skill which is controlled, graceful and athletic. Participants should wear court shoes and loose-fitting clothes. Fencing equipment is provided. Some helpful PDFs may be downloaded here.

    The beginner fencer can augment his/her practice by signing up for Practice Sessions (free with registration in another class) on Sunday’s 11 am-2:00 pm.
