Fencing
Fencing often described as "physical chess," develops grace and skill in the mind and the reflexes. It is a demanding and fascinating art form that is both recreational and an excellent form of exercise. In this introduction to the fundamentals of fencing, you will learn both footwork and blade work, including en garde advance and retreat positions as well as simple attacks and defensive actions. You will use a foil as your weapon, but will also become familiar with an épée and sabre. Please wear long sweat pants and sneakers to class. All uniforms and equipment will be provided. A $10 materials fee is included in the course fee.
