Program Structure
This Intermediate fencing program consists of 2 group classes per week, which are 1.5 hours long each.
It is expected that you take private fencing lessons when you attend Intermediate class.

After warming up, the fencers will work on different elements of technique, drills, foot and hand work, target work, work in pairs and of course fence using the electric equipment.
