How to Join Us

Ad Fontes schedules beginner classes every couple of months. The beginner class series will take you from the very basics of holding a sword to being able to put on fencing gear and spar with other club members.

To get started, there are no gear requirements. Just make sure to wear some athletic gear, have a pair of indoor shoes to train in, and bring water for yourself.

Please email us to schedule your first lesson, fill out our waiver, and send payment with the links below.

Note: Our current new student roster is full. If you are interested in joining, please send an email and you will be informed when the next beginner class will start!
