Interested in learning more about the sport and art of fencing? Join us for beginning fencing classes for youth and adults!

In Introduction to Fencing, youth ages 9 and up will learn the fundamentals of fencing by focusing on building a solid foundation through rhythmic exercises, proper stances, and essential movement mechanics.

In Adult Cognitive Fencing, adults and seniors not merely learn fencing as a physical skill, but as a cognitive discipline, in which the sword becomes an extension of the practitioner’s nervous system.
