Get Started!
Getting started is easy. Just drop by one of our beginner classes and give historical fencing a shot. All students are welcome regardless of prior experience. Our membership dues are $40 per month, no matter how many classes you take. New members don't pay dues the first month. We also have plenty of loaner equipment for new people, so don't worry about bringing anything except exercise clothes and some water.
At TSG we have two training tracks, Medieval and Renaissance. New students are welcome to drop by beginner classes for either. Our medieval track focuses on Liechtenauer KdF and Fiore. Our Renaissance track starts with a foundations class in common Renaissance fencing techniques.
We open beginner classes twice a year. Each class starts with an open enrollment month, usually in January and July. During that month, new students are welcome to come by and jump right in. Students remain in their beginner classes for about a year.
