Club Offerings and Classes
Both the Phoenix and Flagstaff locations offer instruction for beginners and the opportunity for experienced fencers to participate in open fencing year around. Coaches are available to work on refining techniques and tactics. While the Phoenix branch engages in all three weapons, fencing in Flagstaff is limited to epee.
The Club aims to provide a fun, structured environment to develop skills in fencing and encourage participation in competitive tournaments sanctioned by the United States Fencing Association.
The Phoenix branch teaches classes through the Phoenix Department of Parks & Recreation and the Flagstaff branch is associated with the YMCA in Flagstaff.
