Introductory Classes

Meeting frequency / duration – One / 2 hour class per week or two /1 hour classes per week

Session length – 4 weeks

Cost per session - $75.00

Class Description: Introductory classes are offered for youth (ages 7-13) and adults (ages 14 and up) with all necessary equipment provided. The Introductory course offers instruction in footwork, bladework, distance control, tactics and bouting. The aim of the course is to provide a knowledge base that will give the student the fundamentals needed to successfully, upon completion of the session, move into one of our existing Recreational level classes and both hold their own with class members and understand the instruction being offered. Once a week classes are offered on Sundays for youth and adults, and twice a week classes are offered on either Mondays & Wednesdays for youth or Tuesdays & Thursdays for adults. New sessions start at the beginning of each month. For a complete schedule of our Introductory Class Start dates & times click here. To sign up for an introductory class, click here.

Private Introductory Session

Recognizing that it may be difficult for an individual to attend the scheduled introductory classes offered, we also offer private introductory sessions. Those may be scheduled, at a mutually agreeable time, directly with an instructor. The student will purchase a lesson card for $110.00. This card is good for 8 / 15 minute blocks of time that may be combined into 30, 45, or 60 minute lessons. There is no limit to the number of lesson cards one my purchase.

Cost per month - $80.00 for 1 class/week, $110.00 for 2 classes/week

Family discount - $20.00 off class fees for each additional family member.

Annual Club Membership required - $60.00/ family

Class Description: Our Recreational classes meet uninterrupted throughout the year and may be joined at any time. These classes are designed for persons wishing to participate in fencing for fun, recreation, mental and physical exercise, and the occasional competition as part of a healthy lifestyle. Classes are divided by age and/or ability level. Equipment is provided through the first month of membership. For a complete schedule of KCFC classes click here.

To provide for the most positive learning experience, we do require that new class members complete an introductory class (or come with comparable experience from another program) prior to joining a Recreational class.

College Student Membership

Cost: $110.00 / 8 class punch card

Class Description: Recognizing that college students have a challenging schedule, often forcing them to make difficult decisions regarding participation in extracurricular activities, we have added a College Student Membership to our list of programs. The College membership allows a student to purchase a punch card good for any 8 recreational classes that fit into their schedule. There is no expiration date on the card. That way, if the course work is too heavy, you don’t have to choose between passing a class and attending a fencing class that you have already paid for.

This membership is available only to full-time college students.

Students are expected to have a solid command of basic footwork and bladework and be ready for a strong cardio-vascular workout. This is a high intensity class that includes strength, speed and endurance training and a focus on competitive bouting, and tactics for the modern game.
