Beginner:

Beginner classes at the Baltimore Fencing Center are open to all interested individuals who have never fenced before, or who wish to return to fencing after a long absence. New Beginner classes generally start every other month. Beginner classes are ranked into two categories, Beginner I and Beginner II. All equipment needed will be provided but you will need to bring in a pair of long, loose pants, preferably without pockets on the sides -- sweatpants are ideal.

Beginner classes are divided into the following age categories:
       

        Squire classes are for ages 6 - 8
        Youth classes are for ages 9 - 13
        Ages 14 and older are placed into adult classes

Intermediate

Those with prior fencing experience, or who have taken a Beginner class at the Baltimore Fencing Center, may enroll in an Intermediate class.

Competitive

Open to those fencers with a serious interest in competition.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are available with any Baltimore Fencing Center's coaching staff. Private lessons are available to fencers of all skill levels.
