November Beginner Schedule: Tuesday & Thursday

The next start dates for beginners are Tuesday, November 5th OR Thursday, November 7th. The next chance for beginners after that will be in January.

In order to provide more flexibility, for November and December of this year we are going to run Beginner classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Tuesday and Thursday classes will cover the same material, and Beginners can attend either session, but not both.

If you sign up for beginners class this month by emailing FencingClubAsheville@gmail.com, please indicate whether you intend to practice on Tuesday or Thursday.

Helene Relief: Please be aware that Fencing Club Asheville offers scholarship and sliding scale programs for beginners and other classes. If the cost of classes is an issue for you in participating in our sport, please talk to one of the coaches about our scholarship program. We want everyone to be able to fence!
