EN GUARDE!

Calling all swashbucklers, wannabe Zorros, and Musketeers! The Helena Family YMCA has Olympic fencing, also known as “the art of the sword”. It's just one more way to stay healthy an active at your YMCA. Adults and kids alike will enjoy this unique and fast-paced sport.

The Helena Fencing Club, in conjunction with the Helena YMCA, are pleased to offer beginning fencing classes and intermediate in foil, saber and epee.

The beginning classes are 8 weeks long and are designed to introduce the basics of fencing. Classes are offered throughout the year. The fee is $30 for YMCA members and $65 for non-YMCA members. In addition, there is a $20 equipment fee payable to the Helena Fencing Club. The club provides all equipment.

Beginning fencing is open to age 9 and older. Exceptions may be made by the instructors. Please wear a T-shirt, comfortable pants and comfortable athletic shoes with a non-marking sole. 

Intermediate instruction and practice is free to YMCA members who have completed a beginner class. There is a $15 per month equipment fee.
