What We're Offering Now
Introductory & Basics Class
Our sessions begin on the first Monday of each month, except for holidays when we'll reschedule to the first Wednesday. At our school, we explore various weapons monthly, focusing on longswords, side swords, rapiers, smallswords, and dueling swords. The introductory sessions delve into essential footwork, grappling techniques, and mastering the principles of the weapon chosen for that month. Please arrive dressed in comfortable gym attire and bring gardening or mechanic gloves and a water bottle for hydration during sessions. Rest assured, we provide all necessary Personal Protective Gear and weaponry. It's also wise to have a spare shirt available for added convenience at the end of the session.

The School will provide almost all the personal protection Equipment needed ( face masks, jackets, gorget, and chest protectors). You will need to bring gardening gloves.
Private Lessons
Private fencing lessons offer personalized, one-on-one instruction with a certified coach. During the lesson, the coach will focus on technical aspects such as stances, guards, and timing to improve the fencer's skills. Tactical analysis will focus on the fencer's abilities and identify opportunities for improvement to enhance effectiveness and efficiency during fencing bouts. These private lessons aim to refine the fencer's technique, strategy, and performance.
