Senior Programs 50+
Designed for mature fencers aged 50+, our senior program introduces fencers to basic foil fencing skills using real equipment. Seniors start in our one-month long Senior Beginner class, learning the basics of how to move in the fencing position along with simple bladework in a low impact fashion. All equipment for this class is provided.
After completing the one-month long beginner course, fencers graduate into our Senior Intermediate class. Within this class, fencers further refine their footwork and bladework, beginning to apply their learning in bouting. Typically, fencers remain at this level for three to eight months as they begin to develop mastery of both the technical and tactical aspects of the sport. A $100 deposit is required for fencers to sign out equipment. Fencers are expected to gradually purchase their own equipment, starting in their third month of training. When the fencer is ready to move to the next level, the course instructor will speak to the fencer.
In the Senior Recreation Club, fencers will take their skills and apply them to fencing using electrical foils. This class is designed to provide a casual and welcoming environment for fencers to focus on improving their skills.
