Private Lessons

Lessons are the traditional training method in the sport of fencing. They allow athletes to hone their technique with one-on-one instruction and are suitable for all fencers, introductory to advanced.

Lessons last 20 minutes and tend to be fairly intensive. Multiple lessons may be schedule in a single day as agreed upon by the athlete and the coach. For example, reserving forty minutes with a coach, instead of twenty minutes, would be the equivalent of two lessons. We also offer semi-private lessons (2-3 people) for those who want to take lessons with a friend.

We structure our lesson plans and pricing to correspond to the level of the student. Introductory lessons are given to those new to the sport. They cover the basic technique necessary to begin sparring or to participate in our group classes. Intermediate and Advanced lessons are typically for those interested in attending tournaments.

Although we try to reserve Friday and Saturday afternoons specifically for lessons, and dropping-in for a lesson during Open Fencing is a possibility, the best way to arrange for a lesson is to schedule it through email. Only so many lessons are available each day, and priority is given to those who schedule on a regular basis. Please note that pre-scheduled lessons must be cancelled 24 hours prior in order to avoid a charge.
