How will I learn?

Hooked on Fencing has developed a method of training that is designed to slowly work new students into the lifestyle of the fencing club. This program is known as the Immersion Process, which includes private instruction from one of our coaches who will guide you through the footwork and bladework and into actual fencing in the club environment. New Students will be instructed on an individual basis prior to being given opportunities to train with more experienced club members. In this way, the maximum amount of attention can be given to each novice, and the fundamentals may be stressed and reinforced to provide the best possible base for later learning. During this time, each student will maintain a fencing journal, cataloguing the contents of each lesson, and reflecting on salient points in the student’s interaction with the coach. As progress is made, the coach will then recommend additional days and later times of attendance so that the new student may learn and grow within the entirety of the Hooked on Fencing Community. During the immersion process, you will set up lessons from one of our coaches by appointment, anytime Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m.
