Beginning classes are limited to twelve students and enrollment is on a first come basis.  Each one hour class starts with a warmup activity and stretch.  Fencing positions and movement are added each week until beginners have a basic knowledge.  First bouts (fencing matches) will occur during the final class meeting.   . >

	Our on-going youth practice program meets for 2-hours.  All ages and levels of youth come at the same time.  Our youth fencers range in age from 8 and up, boys and girls.  We have some who compete locally and nationally and some who have just finished a different beginner class.  There are some things we do as a large group and then other things we divide the fencers for based on level.  Our practices are similar to class but more time is available to spend on each aspect.  We start with warm up and stretch and then do footwork and some games.  After that we break into groups with some fencers bouting and some doing drills.  The groups rotate through the night so everyone is doing a little of each.  The first few times new students come, they will continue perfecting the things they learned in class.   . >
