Fast Track Class

​

Designed for the adult who has never fenced before or would like a refresher class before jumping into the AFL, the FAST TRACK class will teach you all the basics. This one time, one hour class focuses on the fundamentals of the sport and  will let you enter the regular monthly program with increased confidence in your newly acquired skills.

You will be fencing with your very own pool noodles that you may take home as a souvenir so the you may challenge your roommate, husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend to a duel. You will win of course, as you will know what you are doing! Viva la Pool Noodle!

Club Fencing

GGFC’s Club Training level is designed for athletes who love the sport but choose to continue at a level focused on fun, socialization and local competition. 

Club Training is a gateway to lifelong participation in fencing. The US Olympic Committee American Development Model recognizes that not all athletes are interested committing to a competitive based track. Instead, many athletes want to participate in other sports, develop for personal achievement, focus on the health aspects of sport and compete for challenge and fun of it.

The Club Training level offers all that! It provides the maximum flexibility for training and offers the opportunity to train with high performance, competitive fencers.
