DV2 is the most impressive qualifier (Well done Kaelyn!) then DV3 and then VET. The rest of the code refers to gender then event. (i.e. VETME= Veteran Mens Epee).

I’ve composed a quick draft of a Basic Tournament Primer to provide a bit of info on how to prepare and what to expect at a fencing tourney. It’s written as if you’re going to a tourney outside class.

You can find it under the Info for Students menu or you can click here.

I’ve posted a basic Gear Care Guide under the Current Student Info tab.

It can be found  here.

 Here’s the Invite Flyer

Although no date for the next beginner class has been set, inquiries are coming in from prospective students and I expect it will happen soon!

If you have a friend that’s interested in attending, have them contact me soon soon soon!
