En Garde! Ages 4-6
"Little Musketeers" engages youngsters in a developmentally-sequenced series of age-appropriate activities, games, and of course, swordplay. While kids are thrilled at the thought of training to be a "knight," parents will see improvements in physical, cognitive, and social-emotional skills.
We recommend a combination of private and group classes for the best possible results as kids move up to competitive fencing at age 7.
Instructor Michael Martin is a USFA professional fencing coach with CT Board of Education certification.
