Description
The Olympic sport of fencing demands a blend of tactical and strategic thought and a physical execution of those decisions. This has led many to describe the sport as "physical chess." Fencing also teaches balance and discipline and even more than this, it's fun! This class is for those new to fencing or those who would like to work on the basic skills. This class will cover basic rules, etiquette, basic footwork, attacks and defenses. Classes will consist of warm up time, footwork time, group lesson and bouting.
Due to the personal nature of the equipment used for fencing, students will be issued a mask and a glove from Midwest Fencing Club during the first session. Students will be responsible for this equipment for the duration of the class, taking it home and bringing it back for the session and also making sure it is only used by them. Each fencer will be required to pay a $150 deposit for their equipment on the first day. This fee will be returned after the equipment is given back at the conclusion of the class. We accept cash or check.
