Beginner Program

Our Beginners Program is designed for those who have no fencing experience. All ages from 6 to 60 are welcome. Our experienced coaches create a relaxed and fun environment and lead you through the sport of fencing. The course teaches basic fencing knowledge, and includes a warm up exercise, basic footwork and blade work, and the chance to fence with other beginners under a coach’s supervision.

Kid: 6-9 | Youth: 10-13 | Teen: 14-17 | Adult: 18+ | HP Youth: High Performance Youth for competitive stream

TFC Beginner Program $285 for 8 class; $40 (1 Trail class)

All fencing equipment is provided. No TFC membership is required*, simply tell us your age group, choose your time preference, and email us.

We offer classes Monday to Saturday, and students may choose one or two classes per week to start.

Those who want to continue fencing recreationally can register for another 8 week course to learn more advanced skills with the same coach.

Those who want to participate in our competitive stream can join the club as a member with monthly or yearly membership. Competitive fencers purchase their own equipment and schedule 2-3 half hour private lessons per week with our high performance coaches. You can train as many as five evenings per week and improve your fitness at our famous Saturday half-day training camp. Within a few months you should able to fence electric with our national level fencers.

Mandatory: general sportswear (T shirt and track pants), court/running shoes (absolutely no street shoes allowed). A towel and bottle of water, as well a change of clothing, are recommended–you will be sweating!

Experiencing fencing is as simple as that. Don’t hesitate message, email, or call us for details.
