Description
We're sorry, but this program is over. The last meeting was Monday, May 19, 2025.
(DROP-OFF Program): Participants will be introduced to the rules of the sport, the parts of the equipment, how to hold and the on-guard stance. Instructors will demonstrate basic footwork, the target area, basic attacks and preparations for attacks and defenses. Our weekly meetings will include practicing each of these introductory techniques. The beginner course touches upon common technical fencing terms such as piste, parry, riposte, etc. Safety in fencing is emphasized throughout the course. After taking a year of fencing at the beginner level, students will be considered for the intermediate level.
Please read the notes at the bottom of this page carefully, and email jkelly@hillhouseboston.org if you have any questions before the season starts, or if you register less than a week before the program begins.
