We do not offer a "Free Trial" Class or session.
We DO teach a wonderful Beginning Class for four weeks (twice a week for 2 hours, equipment use included).
The beginning class is for individuals who have never fenced before or for people who have fenced before and are interested in starting again but need a refresher. If you have personal equipment and you already know how to fence, please purchase the "Valkyrie Club Membership" which gives you access to daily practice, Tuesday through Friday and auto-billed each month through either credit card or paypal.

Athletes 13-adult are scheduled 6:00-8:00pm.
Elite athletes are scheduled 7:00-9:00pm.
Para athletes are individually scheduled.
Little Lightsabers are scheduled Wednesdays, 4:00-4:45pm.

Class Sessions are organized, with Safesport/USA Fencing Certified Instructors. All Teachers are background checked.
