Winter Schedule Update

November Schedule Changes – Including this week 11/16

This week, 11/16 we have a last minute schedule change. Class will run from 8-9pm. Beginners class and Open Fencing will run concurrently. This will also be a chance for adult sized beginners to try out Epee.

Next Week there will be no practice due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

For December we expect Open Fencing to meet every week at 8pm except 12/28, when we won’t practice.

Schedule Updated today

Beginner’s class will run from 7-8pm and Open Fencing from 8pm-10pm effective 10/26/2022.

This change is due to circumstances beyond our control, but we may move back to the earlier schedule in the spring.

Also, as might be expected, there will be no beginners class or open fencing the Wednesday before thanksgiving 11/23/2022. Class will resume as normal on 11/30/2022.

Beginner Fencing Class starting Wed Sept 7th

Fencing Club Asheville is going to be starting Fall Beginner Classes Wednesday Sept 7th at 6:30-7:45pm

Location will be unchanged, we’re still at Asheville Catholic School in north Asheville.

Special requirements, please read carefully:

  1. Students must be vaccinated.  I don’t want to see the card, but you must confirm vaccination status in your RSVP.
  2. Classes will be mask optional for now, but you must be willing to train in a mask if case counts go back up.  (I mean covid masks, not fencing masks, haha)
  3. Ages are still 10+

If you are interested please RSVP by email at fencingclubasheville@gmail.com Your RSVP should indicate full names and ages (if not adults) for participants as well as vaccination status. I expect the class to fill up, we can only train so many people safely in the gym at once.

For the full details on the beginner class, please read here.

Please let me know by email above or by phone at 301-537-0211 if you have any questions.

Summer Session Schedule

Now that our spring beginner class is wrapped up, we’re going to transition to our summer schedule starting next week, 6/1/2022.

Our summer schedule will be:

7:00pm-7:30pm Group Training (Footwork and Bladework skills)

7:30pm-9:30pm Open Practice and Individual Training

Location is unchanged. Pricing is unchanged at $10 per class if you’re using club gear or $30 per month.

Beginners who just completed classes should attend group training and a portion of open practice. Fencers who currently attend Open Practice may also attend group training to work on their skills.

If you’d like an individual lesson at Open practice please feel free to ask one of the coaches and we will fit you in if at all possible.

For New Beginners, we will announce our fall beginner class schedule in August.
