Youth Classes

To register for a class, please complete the Registration Form and Waiver and bring it, along with your payment, to the first class of the session.

The Registration Form (including Waiver) is available for download here: EXORegistration.pdf

The club currently offers beginner and intermediate fencing classes for children and teens (for information on classes for adults, please click here).

Our beginner classes introduce basic fencing footwork, various attack and defense techniques, and help fencers develop the necessary skills needed to obtain their Yellow Armband. No fencing experience is required.

A printable (pdf) version of the lesson plan for the beginner course is available here: BeginnerCourse.pdf

Through the Ottawa Developmental Fencing Circuit (ODFC), beginner fencers also have the opportunity to participate in local beginner competitions. Those interested in learning more about the ODFC should visit odfc.ottawafencing.ca.

While the club provides specialized fencing equipment for those enrolled in the classes (foil, mask, glove, and jacket), participants are asked to bring a t-shirt, a pair of sweat or track pants (NO SHORTS), and non-marking athletic shoes.

If you require any additional information or have any questions regarding registration, please contact Alexandre Frapsauce by email at alex@ottawafencing.ca or by phone at 613-204-2955, or simply drop by the club.
