SO
.YOU WANT TO FENCE SABRE??
Every Saturday from 11:30am 12:30 pm there is a Youth Sabre Class for students ages 8 14. Due to the amount of interest and growth in the Monday evening Sabre class by fencers of varying ages, the decision was made to hold a separate youth class on Saturday mornings. Alex Fotiyev is the instructor for both classes. Following the schedule of the Monday class, this group will also be spending time on footwork and bladework with plenty of time after for bouting. So ..come see what the excitement is about. Fence Sabre!
