Beginners Classes
Introductory classes are offered every season at a variety of locations. Find the one most convenient to you from our complete listing below. All equipment is provided free of charge. We ask that you wear comfortable clothing, capris or pants (but no shorts), and athletic shoes.
To register, or for questions about prices and scheduling, call the location as listed below. For general fencing questions, call OFA at 503.643.7218 or email info@oregonfencing.com.
Remember, you're never to old to learn to fence! Our Sherry Green started to fence at age 61 and became the #1 ranked women's saber fencer in the 60+ age group. She has made the world championship U.S. National Veteran's team multiple times. You could be next!
