Welcome to our Spring 2024 Clinic. In this clinic we will review
the building blocks of teaching individual skills and assemble them
into the walls and buildings of complete lessons up to and including
a challenging option lesson appropriate for a seasoned competitor.
CITs should have some experience and confidence teaching offensive,
defensive, and counter-offensive skills. Attendance at previous USFCA
clinics is recommended but not required. This clinic will be ideal
for CITs working toward a Prevot certification. CIT's must register
to participate in the clinic in only one weapon. This clinic will
include three separate modules of four hours each. There is a
Saturday morning module, a Saturday afternoon module, and a Sunday
morning module. Each module will include an assessment. One Prevot
practical exam will be offered Saturday evening and up to three exams Sunday
afternoon. Please email Paul Sise at paul.sise@pioneerfencing.com if
you wish to take an exam.
