Foil Classes
Originally developed as the training weapon for rapier, foil is a thrusting weapon where only the torso is a target. Lightweight and fast, foil follows right-of-way rules. Like all fencing weapons, foil provides a great core workout, builds stamina and confidence as you learn to think strategically.
