Beginner Fencing Classes for Kids, Teens, and Adults

Looking for a fun, challenging sport that builds focus, coordination, and confidence? Allez Fencing Club’s Learn to Fence (LTF) program is the perfect introduction to épée fencing—designed for complete beginners, with no experience or equipment required.

What Is the Learn to Fence Program?

Our 8-week beginner fencing course teaches students the fundamentals of movement and blade control through structured, hands-on lessons. You'll learn footwork (advances, retreats, lunges) and blade work (parries and ripostes), all in a supportive, community-focused environment.

We provide all fencing gear, including an épée, mask, glove, jacket, and underarm protector. Just bring athletic clothes, water, and a readiness to move!

End-of-Session Mini-Competition

At the end of the 8 weeks, students participate in a friendly mini-competition with classmates to test their skills in real fencing bouts. It’s a fun, low-stress way to apply what they’ve learned, celebrate progress, and cheer on their friends.

From there, students advance together into our next-level beginner class—continuing their fencing development as a cohesive cohort.
