Beginning Fencing
Starting your fencing journey
Children as young as five can begin their fencing journey with a 20-minute introductory private lesson. In this fun and engaging session, they will be introduced to the basics of footwork and blade work. With personalized instruction tailored to each child, the lesson provides a strong foundation for building confidence and developing skills. All necessary equipment is provided.
Our youth introductory classes offer a fun and engaging introduction to the sport of fencing, perfect for students with no prior experience. Participants will learn the rules of the sport, practice fencing positions and movements, and develop the skills needed to perform basic offensive and defensive actions.
Each session includes a mix of warm-ups, skill-building games, footwork, partner drills, and boulting. All necessary equipment is provided by Empire United Fencing. Students should come dressed in athletic clothing with long pants (such as sweatpants) and sneakers.
Intro classes meet on Thursdays 4:30 - 5:30 pm for ages 6-12 and Saturdays 10:00 - 11:00 am for ages 6-9
