Welcome to our unique adult fencing class, a place where enthusiasts of all levels come together to hone their skills, compete, and immerse themselves in the elegant Olympic Sport of Fencing.

Known also as “Physical Chess,’ fencing combines anaerobic and aerobic elements, developing eye & hand coordination, as well as a great sense of balance and flexibility.

Our adult fencing class is led by experienced US National Champion coaches. We begin with a focus on the fundamentals of fencing, including proper en garde, footwork, and blade work.

Safety is paramount, so participants will be equipped with regulation fencing gear, including masks, jackets, and gloves. Our coaches prioritize creating a supportive and inclusive environment where all fencers can learn and grow without fear of injury.

As the class progresses, participants can engage in friendly sparring sessions to apply their skills during fencing bouts.

Whether your goal is to improve your fitness, unleash your competitive spirit, or indulge in the thrill of swordplay, our adult fencing class offers a welcoming and stimulating environment for fencers of all backgrounds and aspirations.

Join us as we embark on this exhilarating journey through the art and sport of fencing!
