You can start on almost any Saturday of the year, and TWC supplies all necessary fencing equipment. But call first, since we have to send registration forms to your parents. Once you make the team, you'll be eligible to own your own personal sword and uniform which can be purchased through the club at discount prices. You'll also learn to repair the electrical weapons and scoring apparatus used in tournaments, as well as basic officiating. The emphasis at TWC is equally upon building character and producing good fencers, by letting boys be boys while teaching them to be men.
Interest is more important than mere physical talent.
The sport is not dangerous since rigid safety rules must be followed, and the cost is inexpensive for the beginner.
