For the Love of the Game
We believe that fencing is the best game in the world. Not only is it incredibly fun, but it teaches many lessons that simply cannot be learned in other contexts or environments. The sport is historically associated with a high barrier of entry, and we strive to tear this down with innovative new teaching methods, online supplementation and technological support, a dedicated and constantly evolving curriculum, a mobile app that connects the fencing community, and finally, passionate coaches who love what they do.
Teaching Methods
Active Learning
Students learn when they're having fun, and they have fun when they're learning. S-class students are encouraged to actively learn via the Socratic method, allowing them to draw tactical conclusions from theory-based games.
Core Curriculum
We believe in 'Economy of Motion." Every movement has a cost and a benefit. As such, there are no 'bad' moves in fencing. In order for a move to be 'good,' it must be used in the correct context. Our core curriculum is designed to explain the purpose of every action and tactic that we teach so that our students have the freedom to create their own style. If you'd like to learn these elements, we invite you to watch our tutorials (linked below).
Tech-Focussed Approach
In a sport where technology has not progressed since the 1980s, we believe the future is wireless, data-driven, and open-sourced. Register below for beta testing of the S-class Mobile App.
