A video from a great channel. It seems like for all of their videos there is slo-mo for each hit so you can break down the action: https://youtu.be/mQn49Ig1-7A

Classes at the club will continue as scheduled while the region is in Orange (with the appropriate measures and restrictions in place, of course). However, we will not be accepting any new members until the region goes back to Yellow. If you are interested in starting with us when that happens, let us know.
Our first practice of 2021 is tonight!
FENB Athlete of the Month! Name: Mitchell Taylor Age: 17 Home Club: Fundy Fencing Club Coach: Rick Gosselin... Favourite Weapons: Foil and Epee Favourite snack: Cheese and crackers When Mitchell isn't fencing he loves to read, listen to podcasts and watch anime. In his fencing class, Mitchell is the guy cracking jokes and doing handstands, LOL. But his favourite thing about fencing is having a challenging match with his training partners of course! Congratulations Mitchell, you are our Athlete of the Month!
Club schedule for the holidays: no classes from Dec. 21 - Jan 4.
The club remains open while the Saint John region is in Orange. Classes remain at the same times but the practices will be conducted in a modified form to ensure safety and compliance with provincial directives.
+ + = U17 Fundy Fall Foil Tournament! Sunday, October 25th in Saint John. Spaces are limited so register today!... https://2mev.com/#!/events/2020-Fall-Foil
The club is open this weekend; our procedures regarding masks continue to be in line with the province's new rules so there's no change there.
Appropriated from the Brock Fencing Facebook group:
With a lot of kids beginning to fence this time of year, I recommend this interview for anyone interested in what fencing is all about. Her description of fencing as a "strategic game of cat and mouse played out on a 2 x 14m strip and the movements are so quick that it is scored electronically" rings true, as do her comments about what its like to start learning it and about how much it develops the ability to focus. https://rochester.kidsoutandabout.com//why-your-kids-shoul
Interested in fencing? We are at the Irving Oil Field House this Saturday 11am - 3pm. Come on, take a stab at it! http://ow.ly/N8kW50Bo4KJ
Happy World Fencing Day today! https://youtu.be/feOg-XA5H0g We celebrated with some new fencers in our youth beginner class! There are still a few spots left for anyone who wants to try this awesome sport!
We are closed this weekend (Sept 5 - 7) but will be right back at it on the 8th.
