No class/bouting on the Fourth and other updates



No class or open bouting Thursday

We’ll be canceling classes and open bouting for the Fourth of July holiday. If you’re interested in fencing sometime Thursday day or evening, send an email to Jack.

Beginner class is on for tonight, and we’ll be back to regular schedule next week.

Best of luck to all our teammates!
