Beginner Foil Fencing Class

I'm a rising sophomore in highschool, and I went to the SF Fencing Academy Summer Camp. I came into this camp with 0 experience in fencing and I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this sport. But from the start, Brandon and Stacey made picking up this new sport a breeze. That isn’t to say that it was easy as bouts are extremely competitive with my peers. The first three days were an introduction to each weapon starting with the Foil, then the Epee, and then the Sabre. I found the Sabre to be my favorite and with Brandon’s well-explained 1-on-1 training, I learned the basics of multiple parries. We went over many strategies which I applied into bouts against my peers. With this, I had higher scoring attempts and a better performance overall. I really enjoyed this camp and I will definitely dive deeper into fencing.

Thank you Brandon and Stacey for guiding me through the basics of fencing. It was an amazing camp and I would definitely recommend it to anyone, with or without experience.
