GROUP CLASSES
YOUTH INTRO CLASS (ages 4-7) starts September and runs in two month blocks. This class, formerly mini-musketeers, is for pre-schoolers, Kindergarteners and 1st Graders who love to leap over furniture at home and pretend to be Jedi Knights! Using plastic foils, practice vests, and light-weight masks, the structured fencing class teaches a new skill every other week, with repetition of skills emphasized. Fencing games are incorporated into each lesson. This fun class meets once a week for 45 minutes. Leave the light sabres at home . . . Equipment is provided!
