Intro Class

Our fun-filled intro classes will teach you the basics and is an ideal way to start fencing. This program is designed for students who have never fenced before. In the course of the class, students will be introduced to the basic rules and conventions of the sport; they will learn proper fencing positions and techniques and will learn how to execute basic attacking and defensive actions.

The Introductory Class consists of 55 minute classes held once a week for four consecutive weeks.

At the end of the program, the students will have a very clear understanding of what fencing is all about. They should be able to perform basic positions and movements such as: first position, on guard, advance, retreat, and lunge. They should also be able to explain and demonstrate basic attacking and defensive techniques.
