The CFC Summer Intensive Clinic is a  Three week, Monday through Saturday training program. This clinic is open to students of all ages. The student can take advantage of only one week or a combination of weeks as the student's schedule permits. The first week is geared for novice foil fencers who have no experience and wish to begin fencing. The novice then may book into subsequent weeks as he or she desires. The second week is geared towards the intermediate to advanced fencer. Week three is for the intermediate to advanced fencer as well.  All weapons are fenced in weeks 2 and 3.  Weeks 2 and 3 have included many Russian, Ukrainian and Italian students in the past. This is a great opportunity for American clinic fencers to add to the fencing experience. The CFC Clinic is geared for the novice as well as the serious advanced  fencer who wishes to gain wider tactical knowledge and experience.

Tom Ciccarone, former Head Coach of Sacred Heart University and Director of Candlewood Fencing Center
