Ongoing Weekend Youth and Teen Classes

On Saturdays, the Denver Fencing Center offers two ongoing youth and teen classes. These classes are structured to teach the basic to beginners while giving the experienced students different skills to work on. Nearly all of the time we have two instructors on hand to help the beginners get up to speed and keep the experience fencers interested. Many of the fencers travel long distances to attend these Saturday classes and that is why they follow this ongoing enrollment model.
