Bring A Friend 

Do you have a friend, coworker, or classmate that’s always been interested in fencing or inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean? Here is your chance to introduce them to your sport and show them how Captain Jack Sparrow could have been bested with a double-disengage. Bring them to class either Tuesday June 28 or Thursday, June 30 at 6 PM.

Participants should be at least 10 years of age and should wear cloths appropriate for exercise and a clean pair of sneakers.

If someone would like more information prior  please email me at info@twintiersfencingclub.com.

Remember, you don’t have to be young to begin fencing. This is a sport you can start or come back to anytime.
