Programs

Progress with purpose.

One flexible pathway takes fencers from their first en garde to their next competitive challenge.

Our schedule has two class formats—Beginner and Competitive. Developing fencers can train across both, with the coach guiding the right balance for each athlete.

Placement is personal. Experience, technical needs, and training readiness determine which sessions are appropriate for each fencer.

Start

Beginner · Learn the fundamentals

Begin with the foundations of saber fencing: how to stand, move, handle the weapon, and fence safely. The focus is on building confidence one skill at a time.

Attend two beginner classes per week
Safe equipment use and fencing etiquette
An introduction to attacks, parries, and scoring

Develop

Intermediate progression · Build your game

Developing fencers do not need a separate intermediate class. Based on coach recommendation, they attend selected beginner sessions for technical refinement and competitive sessions for greater challenge.

Attend two to three group classes per week
Two 20-minute private lessons included each month
Move between class formats as skills and readiness grow

Compete

Competitive · Prepare for tournaments

Train at a higher intensity and prepare to perform under pressure. Consistent practice, purposeful bouts, and thoughtful competition planning support long-term progress.

Train all four days each week
Four 20-minute private lessons included each month
Competition preparation, goal-setting, and continued development

Trial program

Begin with a complimentary private lesson.

Choose a 30-minute appointment Monday through Thursday between 4:00 and 5:00 PM. After the lesson, continue with a one- or two-month trial program.
