While the classes allow more time to help the child focus, many games and tactical fencing drills are used to give the student a wider understanding of how to fence. Ages are also 9 though 12 and the atmosphere is similar to what is found in the Cavaliers. Discipline and concentration remain the staple of performance. More live bouts and realistic fencing games are used in the tactical sense. The Musketeer s set a higher standard without ignoring the simplest aspect of fundamentals learned with the Cavaliers.
Classes cover the fundamentals of fencing.
I would like to register for the Foil 1 Class. The class covers everything in Foil I, but with greater detail and reinforcement. A difficult to learn, but highly controlled parry called an opposition parry is studied. An oral, written, and applied test are given at the end of class. I would like to register for the Foil II Class.
