It’s Tournament Season!
Welcome to fall! We are well into the swing of things and are happy to report that our first tournament of the year, Wacky Wednesday epee, went well and we were able to give out some new ratings. Congratulations to those who competed! Join us Wednesday 9/22 for saber, and Wednesday 9/29 for foil. We had a great turnout this week and expect the same from the next two events!

This weekend will conclude our Session 1 fall classes. Don’t forget to sign up now for Session 2! Classes will begin September 27, so sign up now to reserve your spot.
Note that the Monday/Wednesday youth class will have a makeup class on 9/20 due to the Labor Day holiday.
