Sign up for classes online and search for "fencing". The next session will run from Sep 18, 2010 - Nov 06, 2010. Even when a session is not in progress, the club meets, so feel free to come on by if you have questions or just want to check it out!
If you have not fenced before you'll want to sign up for the Introduction to Fencing class.
The club meets between sessions, so feel free to come by, say hi, or even say "aye aye".
(Yes, the web master does think he's funny!)
As it may be somewhat confusing . . .
The Introduction to Fencing class is the class you want to sign up for if you have not fenced before. This class provides background on the sport of fencing, teaches proper footwork basics, simple attacks and the basic parries.
The Beginning Fencing class is for students who have taken the Introduction to Fencing class, or who have fenced before at another club. This class covers more advanced footwork, strategy, attacks and parries.
The Fencing Club is for fencers who do not need/want lessons, but just want to fence.
Of course, you can talk to Phil if you'd like to get private lessons, regardless of the class you are signed up for.
