Structure
We learn the most important body movements of fencing- the on guard position, the advance, the retreat, and the lunge- right at the very beginning when we know the least about fencing! In this class, we will dive deep into the correct technique of all four crucial skills and learn to properly execute and trouble-shoot them to excise bad habits and perfect the essential form needed for success on the strip.

Finesse
Finesse in fencing is more than just style or a gentle touch: finesse in the use of the weapon is the difference between average fencers and great ones. In this workshop, we will explore different exercises to help develop the subtle finger control of the foil or epee, and how to fully articulate each small element of fencing actions.
