Pick a time. Grab a blade.
Fencing is a lifelong sport, making it an activity you can begin at almost any age. It's never too late to pick up a sword and start your fencing journey.
Because fencing requires focus, self-control, and the ability to follow safety instructions, we generally recommend that children be at least 6 years old before starting. However, every child develops differently. If a younger child demonstrates the maturity, attention span, and coordination needed to participate safely, we are happy to evaluate them on an individual basis.
Select an available session below to reserve your complimentary trial class at either of our locations. New fencers are always welcome, and all equipment is provided for your first class. Our complimentary trial classes are designed for beginners with little or no fencing experience. If you have previous fencing training or competitive experience, please contact us directly. Our coaches will assess your experience and recommend the class or training group that best matches your skill level.
