Make your Friday evenings a time for fencing and fitness! Our fencers have a blast in Clarke County...we invite you to register and see what you are missing! CLASS DESCRIPTION: Our beginner classes are a MUST for anyone getting involved with fencing or coming back to the sport after much time away. Learn to fence Olympic-style on electronic scoring machines! This class will cover the history of the sword, as it relates to fencing, dueling, and the beginnings of the sport. Students will also get an understanding of the weapons, how each one is used, and the modern-day understanding of the rules. From the first lesson and onward through the class, beginners will also acquire an understanding of proper footwork, form, and function. Students will fence each other in the class in the modern Olympic Game style. You don't need to purchase fencing gear, as the use of club gear is provided in the beginner class. All classes are taught by Coach David Copeland, 30+ years of experience in competing and coaching. FAST, FUN, FITNESS! 

All classes are taught by professional member of the USA Fencing, Coach David Copeland, who has over 25 years of experience in coaching all three weapons.
