Ages 9-13.
VAF's Beginning Youth Historical Swordsmanship classes introduce the main ideas behind the TWO-HANDED SWORD and the RAPIER. Students will learn not only the physical techniques of the swords, but the history and culture behind them.

Once students have progressed beyond the Beginning level, they will continue into the Intermediate level, where they will spend time alternating between the two sword styles. They will practice drills and games to develop skills, technique and theory, and use these in free fencing. Classes are fun and teach respect as well as physical fitness.
