Sword fencing is an ancient martial art that combines the speed and athleticism of boxing with the strategic thinking of chess. You will learn intermediate to advanced strategy and technique appropriate to your level, as well as get a chance to practice your skill against other fencers.
This class is for children up to 10 years old. Foil students will need a pair of CLEAN sneakers for inside use only. Optional equipment rental ($5 per class) is available directly from the instructor.
Richard Cherry (Foil Fencing) is a pupil of Herb Cohen who fenced on three US Olympic teams. Richard has been teaching sword-fencing in the local area since 1999.
