Lessons

Even though this list of lessons is long, remember that each lesson is an introduction to a subject and not the subject in its entirety. Every person you work with will be able to give you their unique perspective and insight. If you feel like you are struggling with any of the lessons, feel free to take them again and work with others on them. You can also work with an Officer to make a lesson plan to fit your interests, strengths, and weaknesses as a fencer.
