Beginner Foil

An introduction to fencing for those who have never fenced before, or are returning to the sport after an extended hiatus. Fencers in Beginner Fencing develop fundamental footwork skills, the bladework necessary for simple offense, defense and counter-offense, as well as refereeing skills needed for both foil and epee. Students can begin fencing as young as age 6 in a Kids' Beginning Fencing class. Most Beginner Fencing classes are for ages 9 and over, while the Adult Beginner Fencing class is for ages 14 and over. All equipment for the class is provided except a glove, which is free with the purchase of a Starter Membership, or available for purchase at the Club for $11.
