Our youth classes are targeted to ages 11-15 years old. The aim is for students to learn and develop real fencing skills in a fun, active and safe environment.
Designed with the Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) model in mind, our focus is on the Learn to Train and Train to Train stage of Long Term Athlete Development. Our program teaches basic fencing behaviour, sportsmanship, and self-discipline, as well as the basic terminology, footwork, offensive and defensive actions, and bouting strategy with actual fencing. As some simple benefits, fencing can help improve motor skills, social and perceptual growth, self discipline, self confidence and self responsibility.
