Fairfax Fencers Celebrate the Art of the Sword:
A Few words about Us
At Fairfax Fencers, we believe that anyone can learn to fence! It’s one of the few sports in which people of different ages, builds, and genders compete on equal terms. We strive to offer a fun, rewarding and welcoming experience to anyone who comes through our door. Students learn to attack with the intent to hit, and to defend with the intent to not be hit. This integrates the mind fully with the actions of the body.
INTRODUCTORY
Introductory classes start with the very basic techniques of footwork, stance, distance, blade control, basic attacks and parries, some history of fencing and safety rules.
BEGINNER
The goal of the coaches in the beginner classes is to fine-tune the execution of those techniques introduced previously. Additional techniques and information will be introduced to expand knowledge and practice of attacks, parries and strategies.
INTERMEDIATE
Here, coaches will teach techniques and tactics that go above and beyond simple recreational fencing, with more emphasis on proper form, parries, etc.
ADVANCED
Students in our Advanced classes should have mastered all the techniques and concepts taught at prior levels and be somewhat involved in the world of competitive fencing.
