Description

This course will teach more intermediate/advanced techniques and strategies in the sport of Fencing. For the more serious fencers, students will learn strategy and tactics and begin to hone their skills, including techniques and psychology, for competition. There are three weapons used in modern European-based fencing: Foil, Epee, and Saber. Foils are best for beginning to learn the sport because they cover moves that are also used in saber and epee fencing. The saber and epee will be incorporated into this intermediate course as part of the progression in Fencing.
