Open Fencing on Thursdays!
Don’t Forget Thursday is OPEN FENCING! This is a great day to come out for extra practice. It’s also a day that we do a lot of epee fencing if you want to try your hand at that. Open fencing starts at 7PM. There’s no additional costs! Largely there are mostly teens and adults, but if you are actively competing and would like extra practice against some of our experienced fencers, come down and join us!
