::Fencing Class Information::

We will suppply you with a foil, mask, and jacket. You need to supply a glove, some court shoes, and clothes you can stretch in. The object of the beginner's class is to provide the student with a good basic understanding of the sport of fencing. Basic fencing positions, movements, and principles will be covered.

In the advanced class, the student learns still more offensive actions and strategies, and the defenses that go with them. Footwork is expanded as well. Advanced students are encouraged to fence in local tournaments, and may use our electric gear if necessary.

Your instructor is former Schoolcraft student and Michigan State University fencer Douglas McLaren. He can be reached at: HilandDoug@aol.com
