Fencing
620 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka, IL 60093, USA
Description
The Olympic sport of fencing demands a blend of tactical and strategic thought and a physical execution of those decisions. This has led many to describe the sport as “physical chess.” Fencing also teaches balance and discipline and even more than this, it’s fun! This class is for those new to fencing or those who would like to work on the basic skills. This class will cover basic rules, etiquette, basic footwork, attacks and defenses. Classes will consist of warm up time, footwork time, group lesson and bouting. All equipment is provided.NOTE: Due to the personal nature of the equipment used for fencing, students will be issued a mask and a glove from Midwest Fencing Club during the first class. Students will be responsible for this equipment for the duration of the session, taking it home and bringing it back for each class. Each fencer will be required to pay a $150 equipment deposit directly to Midwest Fencing Academy (cash or check) on the first day, which will be returned when the equipment is turned in at the end of the session.
