🤺 At first, you’re learning how to stand en garde.

Then how to advance, retreat, and lunge.

You learn how to hold a foil, how to make a touch — and little by little, something that felt completely unfamiliar starts to make sense.

That’s part of the fun of learning to fence: going from “I’ve never done this before” to “Wait… I’m actually fencing!”

Our Taste of Fencing program is designed to make that first experience welcoming and fun — three 60-minute sessions for complete beginners, with equipment provided.

Ages 8 through adults.

Curious? Come give fencing a try.

🤺 You don’t have to already be a fencer to start fencing.

You don’t need years of sports experience.
You don’t need to know the rules.
And you don’t need to arrive already knowing how to move, lunge, or handle a blade.
That’s what we’re here to teach you.

BCAF’s Taste of Fencing introduces complete beginners to the fundamentals of the sport in three 60-minute sessions, with equipment provided.

You’ll learn how to move on the strip, handle a weapon, and begin putting the pieces together — all with experienced BCAF coaches guiding you along the way.

Ages 8 through adults. No previous fencing experience required.

Curious? Come see what fencing is all about.

You’re actually fencing. 🤺

Three 60-minute sessions.
Beginner-friendly.
Equipment provided.
No previous experience required.
Ages 8 through adult.

⚔️ When the lights go out… BCAF keeps fencing! ⚔️

We lost power in Lambertville tonight, but that wasn’t going to stop our Friday night fencers!

With a little daylight still left, they took the action outside for some parking lot fencing. 🤺 Then, as it got darker, they opened the big garage door and one of our wonderful parents pulled up and aimed their car headlights into the Academy — just enough light to keep the fencing going! 🚙💡😂

And since the freezer wasn’t working either… well, somebody had to take care of the ice cream treats. 🍦

No electricity. No problem. Just a little BCAF ingenuity, a great group of people, and fencers who weren’t about to let a power outage ruin their Friday night.

Now THAT is perseverance! ❤️⚔️
