2024 Beginner Classes

What can be more exciting for than learning how to use a sword?

Nashville Academy of Fencing (NAF) offers beginner fencing classes in three age groups: ages 6-9, ages 10+ and adults. Our beginner classes run in six week cycles that allow new fencers to learn the key skills that are part of modern fencing. NAF provides all beginners with fencing equipment. We do ask beginners to wear long pants, to bring a water bottle, and to be prepared to move their whole body.

Beginners do not need to be a member of NAF, but all students are required to sign-up for a USA Fencing Membership. We recommend the USA Fencing Trial Membership which is in effect for 90 days. Please bring confirmation of your trial membership to your first class. After the 90-day trial, please sign up for an Access Membership or Competitive Membership at the USA Fencing Website.

Class are $150 for six weeks of instruction regardless of age.
