We invite you to visit our next practice. If you want, we'll suit you up and give you a free lesson. We're pretty confident you'll like it. Almost everyone who tries fencing does. If you have a question, click here for our contact info or just show up at practice. We'd love to see you!
Group Classes
Learn the skills necessary to become a good fencer.All equipment required for classes is provided. (However, if you decide to purchase your own, click here to see what gear is needed.)
Skills training, strategy & tactics and coordination development.
We introduce competition and tournaments but they are optional and not stressed.
-
We do not currently have a beginner group class running. Beginners are welcome at the Monday or Thursday open fencing practices (6:00 pm to 9:00 pm) where we offer individual lessons concurrent with our regular practice.
-
Intermediate/Advanced Class: Wednesdays 5:00pm – 7:00pm
The class' emphasis is on competitive fencing. We use the electric scoring equipment and bout as much as possible under real world conditions with a coach to teach, critique, and encourage. A student does not have to stay for the entire 2 hour class but they can.
Group Classes are $200 per 4 month trimester and include Club membership at no additional cost.
Individual Lessons
Individual one-on-one lessons with the coach are shorter and more intense than the Group Class.
Individual lessons are $15 each for Club Members.

Club Membership / Club Fencing
Club fencing is for our class students and FOTC Club members who already know how to fence and have their own fencing gear.The skill level of these fencers can range from near beginner to seasoned national competitors.
All skill levels are welcome but if you have not fenced before we suggest that you sign up for a coach-led class as well.
- Two practice times available:
- Mondays 6:00pm – 9:00pm
- Thursdays 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Club Membership is $120 per 4 month trimester.
Distance Learning
Distance Learning membership is for fencers who are too far away to practice with us but want access to our online training tools.
Distance Learning Membership is $40 per 4 month trimester.
If the fencer is already a USFA member, there is no registration fee.
