BEGINNER FENCING
The BBF beginner class instructs prospective fencers in a comprehensive understanding of the basics of foil fencing. Fencers are instructed both in the knowledge of fencing terms and phrases as well as traditional, classical fencing maneuvers and techniques. The beginner class is designed to introduce novices to the art and science of fencing and to produce competent fencers who are ready to begin advanced lessons and fencing in competitions. Beginner classes meet one time per week for one hour over four months. BBF begins a new beginner fencing class three times each year (January, May and September).
