Getting Started
All new fencers are required to take two 60-minute individual lessons in order to join the Beginner Class and start fencing. This will give students a comfortable environment to learn about basic footwork, bladework, equipment, safety and rules. Individual lessons are offered throughout the year. Please bring clean athletic shoes, water bottle, T-shirt and sweat pants, NMFF provides all other needed equipment.
NMFF’s Introductory Package includes two individual lessons plus a month of the beginner class for $100. To get started, register for the Introductory Package and then email Rich Strittmatter to schedule your lessons.
When you complete your two introductory lessons, you are ready to join our Beginner Class Wednesdays at 4:30. To participate in the Beginner Class, you are required to register for a $15/year Non-Competitive USA Fencing membership.
