PARENTAL NOTICE: These special YOUTH oriented classes will feature both plastic weapons and reduced size, but fully operational steel weapons that are more suitable for youth fencers. This is an athletic activity that can build both the mind and the body as fencing is very much a mental sport. We have special safety equipment for youth fencing.
