1 credit The modern sport of fencing is a wonderful exercise both for the body and for the mind. Our Beginning Fencing class is designed to help students gain an appreciation for the sport and art of fencing, a sport steeped in history and tradition. As a physical pursuit, it encourages strength, cardiovascular health, reflexes, awareness, and problem-solving skills. Students will learn the basics of epee, foil, and sabre, and will have an opportunity to fence in and direct bouts.
