Petit Musketeers: Fencing for kids 4 to 6 years old. Who doesn't want to be a pirate, a Zorro, a hero? This class is specially designed for kids who like to play with swords and dream of saving kingdoms! Classes include a lot of fencing oriented games and activities, as well as notions of technique and tactic. Never underestimate the value of an early start. With proper guidance and a lot of patience, you will have a fencer in progress at home!
Youth 8 - Y8. For kids born 2017 and under. With games and collective activities, our kids start getting the notions of the fencing game. Classes are one hour long and include games, footwork, a lot of drills and bouting. Swords are plastic in the majority of the classes, while they learn about safety, and blade control. You can start with group classes once a week, but recommended frequency is twice a week, for continuous learning.

Youth12 - Y12. For fencers born 2013-2016. Our soon-to-be teenagers become more aware of the commitment they need and start showing (or not) their competitive personalities. Classes are one hour long and include games, footwork, a lot of technical and tactical drills and bouting. Middle schoolers are chatty and social, and besides involving all formal parts of a high quality training session, there's room for conversation and idea's sharing, because port has a social role. The hard part of this stage is to combine school, friends and fencing: Twice a week group class plus individual lesson is the recommended combination for success. Off Campus PE option is available for this age group.
Youth 14 - Y14. For fencers born 2011-2014. Each one of our teenagers bring their diverse personalities to the strip, in a class that includes more challenges from the physical, mental and social point of view.
