Dear Fencers and Families,
We thank you for all your support and look forward to getting back to "normal." For those returning you will note that we have NOT raised our base prices despite getting hit hard during the COVID crisis.
This season, we will begin mandating a minimum of two private lessons per month, with one or more lessons a week being the strongly encouraged competitive option.
Private lessons provide fencers with invaluable feedback, controlled environments for technical and tactical growth, and customized, 1-on-1 attention and skill development. They are the quickest catalysts for improved performance and understanding in the sport and it is vital that all students receive lessons regularly, in addition to group classes and bouting.
Coach Mike
