SHOES

  Light-weight, well-fitting sneakers or athletic shoes are recommended.
  NON-MARKING RUBBER SOLES ONLY !
  Any good, clean, lace-up, athletic footwear will do.  
  Giant "marshmallow" basketball sneaks are not a good choice.
  No hiking shoes, sandals, deck shoes, etc.  No slip-ons permitted.
  Shoes must be laced and tied.

LEG-WEAR

  Knickers, warmups, sweatpants, tights.
  Any resilient, long-leg covering will do.
  Should be roomy for unrestricted movement.
  Knickers are best - see me if you would like to order some.
  NO SHORTS DURING BLADEWORK !
(Shorts are OK for warmups and stretching)

SOCKS

Socks, sox, stockings, hose - call them what you will.
  NO BARE SKIN ALLOWED !
  Good athletic quality socks to protect your ankles.
  IF YOU WEAR KNICKERS, YOU MUST WEAR KNEE-LENGTH SOCKS!

T-SHIRT

 Light in color - no tie-dyes please.
  (When you perspire, the color will bleed into the white jacket - and dry-cleaning
  will cost YOU !)
  Light weight is recommended as it becomes hot with an added underarm protector and jacket when you are exercising.

MEN'S ATHLETIC
CUP SUPPORTER

 The groin is target in foil and epee!
  Be smart, protect yourself - it is the way to go !

WOMEN'S BREAST
PROTECTORS

 I provide them, USFA requires them - WEAR THEM !  You'll be glad you did.
  (Women's groin protectors are available through catalog.  See me to order something if you wish.)

WATER BOTTLE

  Bring one, and put your name on it.  Then it will be here when you want it.
  The water here is OKAY !

TOWEL

  Fencing is an athletic activity.  If you are working hard, you will perspire heavily.
  Bring a towel to mop your sweaty brow. 
Do not use the paper towels provided for drying hands.

JUMP ROPE

  If you have your own, bring it.
  CFC provides ropes.
  If you want to buy one, the cheap, skinny ones are best.
