This is our starter course for up and coming sword masters aged 4 to 7 years! This class is taught with fun and excitement but with an emphasis on learning the basics correctly before any bad habits can be formed.
All class members must first set an assessment appointment with the Head Coach before signing up for class. We need to know if your motor skills and attention span are where it needs to be.
Class times are 1/2 hour once a week. Times will be set with the Head Coach. You will need to bring sneakers (no sandals), long pants (jeans are OK), t-shirt and a water bottle. We provide all necessary fencing equipment and fencing blades.
