Fall 2020 Classes
September 14 - December 11
Traditionally, BRFC has offered foil fencing classes. Starting in Fall 2019, BRFC began offering an epee fencing class. We added a Saber class in Fall 2020. To avoid confusion, all epee and saber classes will be clearly designated. If no weapon is specified in the class description, the weapon is assumed to be foil.
NOTE: In Fall 2020, we will be offering restricted class sizes. Although classes are offered multiple nights a week, students will register for one night. Students who would like to register for an additional class may do so for an additional $80 per class.

There may be a few of you who are still unsure of which class to select. In these cases, we recommend enrolling in class with the lower skill level requirement with the option to move up the next level class if Coach Sides determines that your skills indicate you are ready to move to the next level.
