Class Experience

In this course we will learn about the sport of Fencing and its history.
In the first half of this class, students will learn about the History of Fencing, be exposed to the different parts of a fencer's equipment, the rules of the sport, and learn about the three modern fencing styles; Foil, Epee, and Sabre. For the last half Students will also learn fun drills and games that teach basic fencing principles of footwork, lunging, and parries that do not require any special equipment and can be done at home.

Learning Goals

At the end of this hour long class, students will have a basic familiarity with the sport of Fencing that will allow them to decide if future fencing lessons are right for them
