FAQS

Q. Can I come tour the club and watch before I commit to a class? 

A. Sure! Email or call us and leave a message about touring and we will get back to you with all of the information you need. 

Q. What should I wear to an intro to fencing class? 

A. You should wear athletic PANTS and a shirt that you feel comfortable moving around in. Jeans and other stiff clothing will give you issues while fencing. You will also need close-toed athletic shoes. Crocs and flip flops are not acceptable. 

Q. Do I need to buy gear for class? 

A. We provide gear for intro and beginner classes. Our coaches and team members can guide you when you reach the level of needed personal equipment. 

Q. I am a parent/guardian,  do I have to stay with my fencer? 

A. No, you do not have to remain in the building during your fencers’ class(es). If you would like to watch them fence you may sit in any of our designated seating areas. 

Q. How old do I have to be to fence?  

A. You must be six years of age to fence. 

Q. I just finished an intro to fencing class. What now? 

A. The next step after intro to fencing is beginner classes. Go to the classes tab and choose a beginner class that works for you. After you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email and an invoice for the class. If you have questions about the different blades we offer, please see our “Fencing Basics” tab.
