After taking a couple classes and you decide that you wish to continue fencing.
Students will need to decide on which weapon to fence, foil or epee. Then will need to purchase equipment and become a member of the club. Equipment can be purchased on-line from many vendors including Blue Gauntlet. Cost of equipment will vary depending on the vendor but will run about $210.00. Buying both a "beginner set" and an "beginner electric set" is often the most cost effective route.
