Additionally, fencers will learn basic precepts around grappling and grappling safety, which can apply to nearly any art.

To encourage fencers of all styles, this class has a reduced fee for any active member of Terra Nova Sword School!

What to expect:

Full-body workouts and mobility drills with moderate weight

Medium- to high-intensity cardio

Basic grappling, involving close contact and controlled falls

Discussion of tactics based on physical attributes

What to bring:

Water bottle

Comfortable shoes and shorts/pants
