ABOUT USFA MEMBERSHIP

All  fencers at Concord Fencing Club must join the United States Fencing Association.
This includes Homeschoolers and Women's Fencing Group.

  USFA provides insurance to protect the fencer and all connected with the sport.  In addition to insurance, the USFA provides a quarterly newsletter and "American Fencing" Magazine. This is where you can find all the latest info on rules, technique, equipment, nutrition, competitions, sports medicine, parent's issues and more.

Membership to USFA is required for almost all competitions. Cost is $50 per year.
(There IS a "family discount" for multiple family members)

The fencing season runs from 08/01 - 07/31 of the calendar year, so you can see that the cost is very low, about 10 cents per day.

Foiled by how to get or stay in shape?
Fencing is a great workout.

Fencing is ideal for firming up a woman’s body. While fencing is a total  body workout, it exercises the thighs, hips and bottom hardest of all. 

Bond girl, Rosamund Pike (‘Die Another Day’) said: "I found fencing scenes excellent for firming up my thighs." If you’re looking to receive more compliments like the ones that Jennifer Lopez receives, fencing is one of your best exercise options. Why? Fencing requires lunges, that force the legs to work hard and become stronger than nearly any other sport. Quick movements insure a fast paced, aerobic workout that burns 390 calories per hour.

Gear rental cost is included in the class fee.

A good fencer is graceful, aggressive, strategic and strong. What other sports feature this combination?

Fencing is a martial art and is ideal for relieving stress. Yes, it’s one of those great sports where you get to hit stuff; seriously though, you’ll be surprised how life’s stresses move to the background as you focus on out-thinking your opponent and making that "touch".

Grab a T-shirt and sweatpants, and join other women in a 1 Hour 15 min, progressively paced class designed to teach you the basics of Foil Fencing - all while getting that great workout and having FUN !

$150/Eight-Week Session
(1 Class/Week)

$100/Eight-Week Session


This class aims to nurture and develop the fencing athlete. Here the emphasis is placed on bringing together all that has been learned and then refine it even more. The student will master the competitive nature within themselves. It will increase the level of competitive competence of all students. This class is designed to acclimate the student to the rigors of competitive fencing and prepare them for success on the highest level.

The emphasis is simply competition - whether fencing Foil, Epee or Sabre.  Students are expected to be in regular competition - at the Divisional or National level, or both. As such, time will be devoted to identifying for each Competition Group member, those competitive events for which he/she is best qualified. This will include implementing goal-setting , mental skills preparation and conditioning cycle planning so each member is equipped to perform at his or her peak level.

Students will learn to plan all facets of travel competition; and when applicable, travel arrangements, coaching at events, lodging and all details of travel will be coordinated as a group.

Students will be expected to approach competition from a learning perspective, and as developing athletes, be prepared to self-evaluate their performance, and share with other groups members their competition experience - both obstacles and triumphs.

While organized instruction is kept to a minimum, there are regular sessions set aside for such topics as:

Sports Psychology/Competitive Mental Skills Training
Competition Tactics and Strategy
Stretching, Conditioning and Injury Avoidance
Electronic Weapon Maintenance and Repair
Timing, Scoring and Officiating

Monthly in-class seminars will address athlete health topic such as nutrition, hydration, cross-training and high-level competition fitness.

   

Notes:  USFA & CFC Membership Required !
1) Students must OWN all competitive fencing gear !
(Students may rent gear for competition at additional cost)
2) Students will need a 3-Ring Binder to be brought to EACH class.

Individual lessons are an effective way to develop your fencing skills. Spending quality time one-on-on with an instructor is especially valuable in an individual sport like fencing. 

Gear rental cost is included in the lesson fee.
 

A fencing lesson is designed to introduce new techniques, and re-enforce proper execution of fencing actions already in the student's repertoire. The goal of the lesson is not to replicate bouting conditions, but rather to provide an environment that allows for controlled repetitions of a selected technique. After mastering the technical action, the instructor prompts the student through a variety of scenarios. The student is responsible for choosing, and executing, the correct actions, depending on the tactical situation. It is because of this complex process that many fencing techniques can flourish within an individual lesson format. 

 
Each lesson is tailored to the individual ability of the student, and is adapted to the pupil's learning style. During a lesson, students should expect to be challenged, but students will not be asked to perform beyond their capability. The lesson can be physically demanding, and will last approximately 20 minutes.*  
 
Students who plan on taking an individual lesson, should arrive 30 minutes prior to their scheduled lesson time. When the lesson begins the student is expected to have completed a warm-up/stretching session (on their own) and worked a few hits against the padded target boards. This helps to ensure that the student is physically ready to begin their lesson.
 
Fencers of all levels can benefit from the individual instruction time, and competitively minded students should consider taking an individual lesson now and again to work on specific skills and sequences.
 

Note:  USFA & CFC Membership Required !
*Longer lessons can be arranged, but in general the quality of the exercise diminishes if the exercise is continued for longer periods.

ABOUT MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBER CLASS DISCOUNTS

Some things DON'T change...

Concord Fencing Club realizes that activity fees for several children can add up quickly. That is why we will maintain our policy of discounting the total CLASS fees for families with multiple fencers (in addition to providing a discount to those advancing fencers who are club members and decide to pursue a second class or weapon group),

The "Family Discount" is applied to the total CLASS fee AFTER other applicable discounts are applied.

We are happy to assist you, and answer ANY questions !
