By request, this clinic will be similar (but not identical to) last
year’s highly successful clinic. Join us and learn four lessons in
your preferred weapon. We cover fundamentals such as warm-ups and how
to construct lessons for fencers of varying skill levels. The lessons
also include techniques and tactics that are often overlooked such as
the flick in foil, toe touches in epee, and point-in-line in saber.
Each module will include a formative assessment which can count
toward earning USFCA certification.
