Practices

What do you do?
Bouting, instruction, drills, and footwork, depending on the day. At this time, we usually fence epee.

Where and when is practice?
We've tentatively scheduled a Monday night practice for Spring 2017.

Do you have an attendance or commitment policy?
No attendance or commitment is required, although you will get more out of practices if you come more frequently! If you would like to come to practice regularly, please make an account on IM Leagues, request to join fencing, and fill out the required forms.

What should I bring?
Long pants suitable for exercise (sweat pants, long yoga pants, etc.), and close-toed shoes. Athletic cups are optional but recommended for male fencers. (Male and female chest protectors are provided.)

How do I start?
Drop in at any practice! We always have someone available to show you the ropes.

Cancellation policy:
If two or fewer fencers are present by ½ hour after practice is scheduled to start, practice will be canceled. Cancellations due to other reasons (finals, no officers able to be present, etc.) will be posted on the UNM Fencing Facebook page.
