Joined after an INTRO Class at their original Saratoga locaion. My son loved the fencing class and after a couple of FREE classes he joined.
They let him borrow equipment till he knew if he wanted to train in FOIL, SABER or EPEE. He choose epee and only bought his equipment after a year of lessons.
We moved to the new BASCOM location and it is super convient to our SJ home.
The best means for communication is just walking into their location and having a chat with anyone at their front desk. They’ll direct you to lessons, help with questions about the sport and then if you want to compete they’ll help you with that too.
My son has now been fencing for 4yrs. He started w/ just Saturday lessons, and then took group lessons a couple nights a week, and now takes private lessons 1/wk along with the group lessons.
Finally my son participated in the JUNIOR OLYMPICS at UTAH in Feb 2012 for EPEE fencing. How many kids get that opprotunity?!
He has this opprotunity due to CFA.
