HoF Youth Event, Escrime d'Halloween, Adult Class

Don't miss the deadline for the Escrime d'Halloween!

See you at our unsanctioned Youth event THIS Sunday (10/4)!

Deadline is TOMORROW to register for the Escrime d'Halloween!

Sunday Youth Event

This Sunday (October 4th) we are holding a practice youth event for Y10 and Y12 fencers! This event is unsanctioned, so although we will follow the official tournament format and award medals, practice/club equipment is perfectly acceptable, and you do not need a competitive membership. This event is open to any and all fencers in this age group, and is intended to be a low-pressure environment to get comfortable with competitive fencing and formats. The Y10 event begins at 12:30pm and is FREE to all fencers; Y12 begins at 2pm and there is a $20 entry fee. Remember, these are start times, so plan to be there before your event and leave time to stretch and warm up.

Escrime d'Halloween

Tomorrow is the deadline to register for the Escrime d'Halloween . I see many of our younger fencers are registered for this event, but not as many teenage/high school fencers. Don't forget--under the new points system, this is an incredibly important way to earn valuable points without having to travel. Regional events award significantly more points than local events, and with the new system, points help your overall standing and help you qualify for larger events, such as National events. Our competitive fencers should strongly consider this event, but don't wait because the deadline to register is tomorrow!!!

No Lessons October 8-12

From October 8-12, I will be in Orlando for the October North American Cup, so will be unable to give usual lessons. However, the club will still be open those days and some of our more experienced fencers may run some drills as well. There will of course be open fencing available. I will also be picking up some new blades for the club and a few other items, so if you're waiting on a blade or need something else that's easily portable, let me know!

Adult Class

I'm gauging interest for a new Adult Beginner Class this fall, most likely on Thursday evenings. If enough people are interested we will likely start the class in late October or early November. So if you or anyone you know is looking for something new to try this fall, please reply or reach out through email to register your interest! There will be a discount for parents of HoF fencers, so if you want to gain a new perspective on the sport, or just get active, this is the perfect way to do it!
