Practice News and Updates

There will be no evening practice on Monday the 23rd. The club is getting a paint job!

We hope to see you Saturday morning! Bethel Park's high school team will be in attendance, so there will be a lot of fencing going on!

Also this Saturday begins an intro to Cane Fighting class with Gary Beatty. If you've ever had the desire to get into historical combat, this is a great introduction! This class will run for 6 weeks, beginning this Saturday the 22nd, from 12:00-1:00pm. $10 per session for Corsair members, $20 for non-members.

Welcome to Corsair!

As of September 1st, our fencing club has re-opened as Corsair Fencing Club. We're carrying on the legacy of En Garde by providing Pittsburgh fencers with the same dedication to our craft that has produced such high-level competitors.

We are proud to welcome back our loyal members, and excited to welcome any and all newcomers to our club!

Please keep an eye on this Website, and our Facebook page for any and all updates to class schedules and membership information.

We look forward to fencing with you!

Sincerely,

Your Corsair Coaches

August Closure

Hello all--

Our club has been going through some changes over the past few weeks that have resulted in the decision to close for some reorganization and repairs for the entire month of August.

Yes, we had been planning on holding a beginner/youth class beginning August 8th, and it is with our sincerest apologies that we inform you of its cancellation. Information about resuming the class in September will be forthcoming. 

We are very sorry for any confusion and frustration this message may cause. Please keep in touch with us regarding practices and classes. You should expect us to be back on track and going full steam ahead once September rolls around.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us. 

Thank you for your understanding. 

See you in September!

-- The Coaches 

En Garde Fencing Club

CLUB CLOSED TONIGHT

Please note that En Garde will be CLOSED this evening (Thursday July 28th), as all of the coaches have an important prior commitment. Thank you for your understanding!

We'll see you back on Saturday morning, 9:30am!

Updated Coach's Page!

Josh Karausky finally has a bio on our coach's page! Check it out!

And don't forget, Wednesday practices belong to him, so you can pay him a visit (and fence with him!) in person every Wednesday evening from 6pm-9pm.

Club Dues- Very important!

Hey folks, if you paid your club dues with a check in June, it will not be cashed. The account was frozen when coach Murphy passed away. If you get a chance re-write a new check or pay cash to Brendon Beatty. En Garde is currently in the process of re-vamping it's program and hopefully everything will be straightened out by August. Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks again.

- B

Shoot the club an email if you have any concerns/questions.

*note* This only applies to those of you that made checks out to "Murphy's En Garde Fencing Club". If you paid with cash or already paid your dues to Brendon, you're ok.

No Fencing on the 4th!

In honor of cookouts and fireworks and Independence Day excitement, the club will be closed Monday, July 4th. Have fun and be safe! See you Wednesday!
