Start your young musketeers off with a fun and safe introduction to the sport. Our 4-6 year old fencing group lessons are filled with fun games and play to help your child develop the motor skills and concentration they’ll need to excel in fencing, and in life.

This program focuses on doing more than just teaching your child how to fence. It helps them learn the sport through games and play, along with a range of activities that focus on improving coordination, balance, strength, reaction, and concentration.
All 7-9 year old fencing group lessons are one hour long.

This is where more advanced fencing lessons begin. Students work through our unique curriculum by taking periodic tests, similar to belt tests in martial arts, that assess their progress.
These fencing group lessons start at one hour, and become longer and more in-depth as the athletes progress through each level. At Level II, the student stays for 90 minutes. Once the student reaches Level III, they stay for a full two hour class.
-
Fencing isn’t just for kids! We offer group lessons for beginner and experienced adult fencers. This is a high-energy workout that combines exercise with instruction to teach and improve your fencing skills.
Adult memberships include access to any of our adult classes, and the use of our fencing gym during open practice times.
