Introduction to Fencing - December 2017
Description:
This class is open to guys and gals ages 10 and up; groups are welcome, but class size is limited to 16. To allow for a Christmas break, we will be running this month's session on Tuesday and Thursday, the first two weeks of the month. Registration for this class will close at 7 pm on December 7 . You MUST preregister and prepay; no at-the-door registration, no exceptions. Register early, this class often fills up quickly.
The fee for the 4-week class, held each Tuesday and Thursday, the first two weeks of the month, from 7 to 8 pm, is $65.
Come to this fun and informative class and learn:
- A brief history of Fencing
- Fencing weapons – foil, sabre and epee and general rules for the specific weapons
- Strip etiquette
- Basics techniques: en garde, advance, retreat, attack, parry, and riposte
- Beginning Bouting
This class requires active participation -- you will be moving. You don't need to bring anything except a bottle of water, a pair of tennis shoes and long pants. We provide all the protective gear and weapons. Come on, join us and find out what it's like to stab your friends! Be there by 6:30 to get measured for gear and to get any additional paperwork out of the way.
Graduation from Introduction to Fencing is a prerequisite to membership and Fencing I.
