Youth Beginner Classes These classes are designed for students with little or no previous experience. One hour class teaches the basics of fencing. Students receive instruction in conditioning, footwork and will be given the opportunity to fence with others. After taking these classes students have all the basic skills for all disciplines of fencing.
Fencing equipment is provided. Intermediate Class This class is for students who already have some competitive experience or going to start to compete. Students receive instruction in footwork, technical and tactical skills, and bouting. Fencing equipment is provided. We recommend that students provide their own electrical equipment.
Sabre, Foil ClassesThese classes are meant for students who already fence with a certain type of a weapon. This class emphasis tactical and technical skills, improve footwork and practice bladework and bouting. Students are required to have their own equipment for this class. Junior Elite ProgramClasses meet twice per week for two hours and focuses on students who are choosing to be competitive fencers. Students learn to win and lose with honor and to use technique, tactics and strategy.
Students are required to have their own equipment for this class. Should my child be competing?
The best answer to this is to ask your coach (George,Valeriy or Sasha). They will be able to let you know if your child is ready for competition. Please remember that at every tournament there is a winner and a loser of each bout. Being a good winner/loser is an important lesson taught at Cardinal Fencing (to both the fencer and parents).
What competitions should my child be fencing in?
Everyone should be fencing in as many local tournaments as possible. These tournaments are good practice and less expensive than going to National Tournaments. The local competition programs called the Jr. Bay Cup & Regional Youth Circuits (RYC) are an excellent way to compete locally. National Competitions are more expensive. Your coach can recommend what National Competitions (NAC) your child should be competing in and if you choose to go we will work out the cost with regards to travel, hotel, and coaching once we know the total number of fencers traveling with us. Private lessons Private lessons are offered to students at all levels by appointment. Students should come to the lesson fully stretched and warmed up.
