Beginning Class

 

The Beginning Fencing Class consists of ten 1/2 hr. lessons introducing the basic skills and rules of foil fencing. Students must be 8 years of age or older. Participants 12 years old, or younger, will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Beginning Classes meet on Mondays and Thursdays @ 7:30-8pm. Please be ready for instruction promptly. Remember to check the announcements on this website, or on our Facebook page for any unexpected schedule changes.

The Beginning Classes cost $20. per 1/2 hr. session. Please direct all questions to anchoragefencingclub@gmail.com. Equipment necessary to instruction will be provided. Please remember to dress for exercise; t-shirts, sweat pants, athletic, preferably thin soled indoor-only shoes.

After the 10 lesson Beginning Fencing Class, advanced instruction will be available, however, further instruction will require participants to purchase personal equipment. A vendor list will be provided, and the coaches will answer any questions. Used equipment may be available to purchase or rent from the club at a discount.
