New classes for adults and kids will begin in January.
The Denver Fencing Center (
http://www.denverfencingcenter.com) is following up its best-ever 2006 season with an expansion to Golden, Colorado. Foil fencing classes will begin in January 2007 with classes at the beginning level for both adults and kids.
According to DFC head coach Nathan Anderson, "We're excited to bring a fencing program to Golden. Fencing is a sport that excites your imagination and offers a terrific workout. Over the years we've trained a lot of fencers from the western suburbs, and our new space will offer a convenient location for them to engage in the sport people call physical chess. Besides, haven't you ever wanted to challenge someone to a duel? This is your chance."
DFC Coach Russell Gibson will teach the classes in Golden. Gibson is a former Division I athlete, a 2005-06 Colorado Cup Foil Champion and a graduate of the US Fencing Coaches' College. Coach Gibson added, "Fencing is a great sport to pick up as an adult, since no two bouts are ever the same. I find that those who take up fencing, regardless of their age, tend to stick with it because its challenges are both mental and physical. It's also a terrific sport that families can do together."
Classes at DFC Golden will be held on Monday and Tuesday evenings at 17400 Rimrock Drive in Golden. Beginner adult classes will be held starting January 8 th from 6-7pm on Mondays. Beginner youth classes will be held starting January 2 nd from 5-6pm on Tuesdays. A new session will begin every six weeks. Fencers can rent all the necessary equipment at DFC Golden.
