CFC Philosophy

Concord Fencing Club offers fencing instruction for kids, teens, and adults ranging from beginners to advanced fencers and elite competitors. The philosophy for beginners is mostly educational and recreational. For experienced fencers the emphasis depends upon the fencer's desires - either recreational or competitive. How a person approaches the sport depends upon personal factors. CFC is there for ALL fencers.

Instruction is always positive and each fencer will hopefully enjoy and feel successful in what he/she is doing. Besides the skills needed for fencing, special emphasis is placed on learning strategies that are used for achievement in all athletics and business - discipline and sportsmanship. Fencing has long been known to be excellent in developing self confidence and body awareness. Every fencer is taught based upon his/her own ability in a progressive fashion, allowing each one to move along a preset sequence of skills at his/her own rate.

An overall goal is to have fun!
