69-142 designed to allow Carnegie Mellon students and staff an escape
from the high tech campus world by stepping back into the slower paced past (though in
a manner that used to be somewhat violent). The course teaches olympic style foil fencing
and is targeted for individuals who have never fenced before.
No prior experience or knowlege is required. The course provides
the basic equipment: foil, mask, chest protector, jacket, glove, and underarm protector.
Students must provide suitable shoes and clothing.
Day One Only -- class meets in Thistle Gym -- enter through the Fencing Room
Equipment is assigned and the class starts working the in full equipment first day on footwork
fundamentals, point practice, and distance drills. Missing
the first day of classes is a very bad idea.
CMU ID Cards are required for entry into Skibo Gym -- there are no exceptions to this rule for students, staff, or faculty. You must bring your ID card to get into the gym!
