Closed for Memorial Day

En Garde will be closed on Monday, May 30th in observance of Memorial Day. Regular practices will resume on Wednesday. 

Have a safe and fun long weekend!

Making the Dream Work

With the arrival of actual Spring, En Garde is shaking things up a little bit.

First of all, let's welcome Josh Karausky to the official coaching staff! It's been one of Josh's long time dreams to coach fencing, and we are more than happy to extend that opportunity to him. *much applause*

Josh (Coach K., if you prefer) is going to run Wednesday night practices. He'll do precision footwork and bladework drills that will be valuable for fencers of every weapon. Because footwork and bladework make the dream work! *much groaning*

So, if we can shake things up, so can you! Be bold! Go to fencing on a Wednesday night!

No Practice Saturday!

There will NOT be practice this Saturday, March 26th.

We'll all be at CMU, either fencing or cheering the club on to yet another VICTORY at the Holy Grail Tournament! Come and show your love and support for the best club in town, 3 years running!

There we are with our 3rd Holy Grail- 2015!

P.S. If you do decide to show up at the club this Saturday, you will stumble upon a Rapier seminar, sponsored by our neighbors at Broken Plow. More info on that right here: Rapier Seminar with Rob Runacres.
