Presidio Fencing Club welcomes you to experience Olympic fencing at Santa Barbara’s first full-time fencing studio. Join an introductory group class or schedule a series of private lessons with a coach. In each class we will introduce and review the basic elements of modern swordplay, including movement and footwork, elementary bladework, strategy, and simple sparring. No experience is necessary, and students can keep coming until they feel comfortable enough to attend one of the other group classes. Students should bring comfortable clothes, athletic shoes, and a water bottle. All other equipment is provided.

Youth Intro classes are led by Gage Delany, a competitive fencer who has trained as a coach at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Introductory lessons (one on one) can also be arranged with a coach and scheduled during one of the open fencing periods on the Class Schedule. Lessons are 20-25 minutes in length with price varying by coach ($25 - $32).

Be sure to check out the Salle Rules and bring a completed registration form (Adobe Reader required). Pay by cash or check made out to 'Presidio Fencing Club.' Sorry, no credit cards accepted at this time.
