UPCOMING COURSES

Winter 2026 ~ Epee

Learning épée fencing is an exciting journey that challenges both mind and body. Each bout becomes a test of timing and distance, where one well-placed touch can make the difference. As students develop, they gain confidence, discipline, and respect for the art of fencing—a true blend of athletic skill and tactical mastery.

Spring 2026 ~ Foundation Course NEW

At Tri Blade, we’re returning to our roots by teaching all three fencing weapons in one comprehensive course. Students will start with three to four weeks of foil, focusing on fundamentals like form, footwork, and timing. Next, we’ll move into épée, where precision and patience are key as fencers learn the art of the full-body target. The course will finish with saber, emphasizing speed, control, and attack strategy. By the end, students will have a well-rounded understanding of all three disciplines—building versatility, skill, and confidence on the strip.

Summer 2026 Music and Motion with swords NEW

Music and Motion with Swords is an engaging course that blends rhythm, movement, and sword artistry. Using music as the foundation, students will explore how timing, flow, and expression enhance their sword flourishing and performance. Each session combines choreography, coordination, and creativity—transforming fencing-inspired movements into a graceful, musical experience. This class develops rhythm, control, and confidence while celebrating the beauty of motion with swords.
