General Information


What if I already fence?


If you already fence and own your own equipment, you have 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. 


Do I need to buy equipment?


We provide the equipment for all classes with the exception of the competitive program.



Which fencing weapon do I use?


With the exception of the Competitive Program and the Saber class, all courses focus on the foil.  Competitive program members choose their own weapon.

Home and After School classes are 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Saber classes are 1 hour and 15 minutes.

The fee is "half" the monthly fee of the class you are joining.


Class fees range from 50$ to 120$ per month.
