Beginning Class
Periodically, through the year, we offer a Beginning Fencing Class (usually around October and February). We will announce the start dates on this website and on our Facebook page when we have them. The Beginning Fencing Class consists of ten 1/2 hr. lessons introducing the basic skills and rules of foil fencing. Students must be 8 years of age or older. Participants 12 years old, or younger, will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Beginning Classes meet on Mondays and Thursdays @ 7:30-8pm. Please be ready for instruction promptly. Remember to check the announcements on this website, or on our Facebook page for any unexpected schedule changes.
The Beginning Classes cost $20. per 1/2 hr. session. Please direct all questions to anchoragefencingclub@gmail.com. Equipment necessary to instruction will be provided. Please remember to dress for exercise; t-shirts, sweat pants, athletic, preferably thin soled indoor-only shoes.
After the 10 lesson Beginning Fencing Class, advanced instruction will be available, however, further instruction will require participants to purchase personal equipment. A vendor list will be provided, and the coaches will answer any questions. Used equipment may be available to purchase or rent from the club at a discount.
What you need:
A completed Class Registration form, submitted as soon as possible prior to the start of the class
A non-competitive membership with USA Fencing ($10/yr), which can be found on the US Fencing website, www.usafencing.org
Athletic attire, water, and a positive attitude
Beginning classes last six weeks each, allowing us to begin a new beginning class roughly every other month.
