Want to learn to fence? Join the Chicago Fencing Club's next adult Introduction to Fencing class beginning on Wednesday, January 13! This eight-week class will be heald in the basement of Park View Lutheran Church, 3919 N. Monticello Ave. Classes begin at 7 p.m. Students will learn basic fencing footwork, attackes, parries, and rules for foil fencing. They will also be introduced to sabre and epee fencing. If they have an interest in these weapons they can advance into other classes. Each class will last one hour, and then students can stay and watch the current club members bout and drill. After a few weeks, when you are comfortable with your fencing, you can cross swords with them. The class costs $150 and includes eight weeks of instruction, an equipment use fee for the mask, jacket, and foil, and the purchase of a fencing glove and underarm protector. |

On September 22, fencers from the Chicago Fencing Club did a demonstration at the J.P. Morgan/Visa 'Back the Bid' event at the Palmer House Hilton in downtown Chicago. Here are Steve and Homero, showing off their foil skills for the crowd: 
And the touch!  The fencers demonstrated foil, epee, and sabre. The fencers also met Emily Cook, a freestyle skiing aerials national champion, and Olympic team member.  Here's a better photo of Emily.  Emily is also a founder of Visa Champions Creating Champions, a mentorship program that pairs Olympians with youth in Park City, Utah. You can read more about that, her accomplishments, and her preparations for the 2010 Olympics at: http://www.emilycook.com |
