Advanced Class Material:
The Advanced Program is scheduled 2-3 times a week for the group class. Each group class is 1.5 hour long. At this level the fencers take once a week private lessons as well as part of the program.
During the class, the athlete works on advanced exercises and drills and will focus on intensive endurance, strength, speed, and agility workouts with a good portion of the time fencing against opponents at the advanced and competitive levels.
Fencers are encouraged to participate in open fencing at least couple of times a month. Fencing with stronger opponents provides invaluable experience and opportunities to learn.
