Sydney Uni Fencing Club

 

Classes

Sydney Uni Sport and Fitness runs Fencing for Beginners and Fencing for Intermediates classes for people interested in learning to fence foil.

The classes run for nine weeks in each University semester. They are taken by Maestro Angelo Santangelo, and teach the basics of footwork and bladework, as well as principles of refereeing.

By the end of the nine weeks, you will be fencing in bouts with other members of the class, and will also be able to fence with more experienced fencers during club training.

All weapons and protective equipment are provided.

Beginners' classes for Semester 1, 2008, began in early April.

Semester 2 classes will start around the second week of August. The probable timetable will be:

Day Time Level Venue
Tuesday 5:30-6:30pm Beginner Arena Sports Centre
Tuesday 7:30-8:30pm Intermediate HK Ward Gymnasium
Wednesday 6:30-7:30pm Beginner Arena Sports Centre
Saturday 12:45-1:45pm Beginner & Intermediate Arena Sports Centre

When enrollments are open for this course (probably in July) details will be available from the Sydney Uni Sport and Fitness website.
