a number of options. You may join as an "open bouting" member. This means you will come in on your
own schedule to do "open bouting" with other fencers.
You may also decide to join a class or take private lessons to hone your skills.
How do I join?
With new fencers, we schedule two private lessons with you to
begin your fencing experience. This will enable you to join your class with greater confidence.

buy equipment?
