Beginning Fencers

When we don't have group beginner classes running, we offer one-on-one beginner lessons with one of our coaches. These individual lessons will cover the same fundamental skills as any group class, and will set you on your way to pursuing your fencing career.

Your first lesson is FREE. -- You are welcome to join us at any practice (see practice times below). Just send us an e-mail to let us know you're coming! First lessons are approximately an hour long.

After Lesson One --The next 4 one-hour lessons are $30 a piece, or $100 if you pay for all 4 in advance. 

After (or even during) this set of 5 individual lessons, you are welcome to become a full Corsair member at any of the above listed levels.
