Club Fencing

It is recommended that beginners who wish to join VTMFC and fence Epee begin by taking an introductory fencing course -- unless already experienced. Before beginners commence electric epee fencing, they are given instruction by Maitre Bac and by senior students. While there are a number of members of VTMFC fencers of a young age, smaller children may have difficulty as they may find the epee too heavy to wield with proper form.
