Advanced Epee Fencing - Mondays at 6:45
Firehouse • 127 Mount Vernon Street Boston, MA 02108 Organized by Hill HouseAbout this event
Description
We're sorry, but this program is over. The last meeting was Monday, May 20, 2024.
This program builds upon all beginner instruction, and are most valuable when taken after the completion of one year of Beginner Fencing. Safety and sportsmanship, as always, are emphasized throughout the program. Compound attacks and technical terms associated with more advanced fencing moves will be introduced as students develop technique and understanding of the sport. If time allows, members of the class will participate in bouting: practicing with electrical fencing equipment. This practice will allow fellow students to learn score-keeping and refereeing. If students consistently continue with this program, they will have the chance to compete in a fencing tournament that follows the US Fencing guidelines.
