About this event

This class is designed for adults of all ages who would like to learn the sport of fencing, or would like a refresher. No prior experience or equipment are needed to start. We will review and explain the foil and epee weapons, rules, technique, and footwork. Classes start with creative physical warm ups including breathing exercises and body awareness, and are followed by targeted drills and then open bouting. Fencing is a life long sport with a competative category up to age 80. We invite you to come try out the body and mind expanding sport of fencing!

Frequently asked questions

What should I wear?

Work out clothes you feel comfortable moving and sweating in. Hair ties and head bands for those with long hair. Tennis shoes/ sneakers.

Does it hurt to get poked by the weapons?

You will be wearing a mask, and a protective uniform that protects you from the weapons. You may get the occasional bruise from a poke but that is generally the extent of it.
