FENCING LESSONS
"En garde!" …."Ready!"….."Fence!"
That's the rally call that rings through the space at gym at Cure Of Ars in Merrick. On cue, the participants start the dance: Advance, retreat, lunge, recover. The music comes from the patter of feet shuffling back and forth in harmony with the occasional shriek of a sneaker skidding on the hard floor.

Experience the beauty and skill of Foil Fencing. It
is a wonderful form of conditioning and exercise. You will learn advanced stretching techniques as you work up a sweat, breath hard while your heart thumps; blood coursing through your vessels to deliver oxygen to your muscles and achieving an excellent cardio aerobic workout. Open to all in the community with no age restrictions or requirements. Both beginner and intermediate students are welcome. This course introduces participants to fencing in a safe, controlled atmosphere.
You'll learn how to advance, retreat, lunge, attack and parry as you improve your stamina, reaction time, speed, accuracy and coordination. Whether you are looking for a skill that will help you attain a scholarship or looking to do
something different and get a great cardio workout this is for you. It is an elegant Olympic sport that teaches restraint and strategy rather than just
brute force.
