The Cal U Fencing and Medieval Clubs want to help you beat the winter blues!
Thursday Nights – Convocation Center Lobby – 5:00-9:00
5:00 – 7:00 Heavy Combat. Want to armor up and fight like it’s 1099? Now is your chance. We have full armor, weapons made of rattan, and we will teach you how to fight your opponents safely while taking part in full on combat.
7:00-9:00 – the elegant art of Fencing! Different armor, and real (but not sharp) swords. We will help you armor up and learn how to fence safely while having fun learning the art of defense.
Why do these things? You will burn lots of calories! Both things are like mental chess – so your mind will get a work out, too.
And we have fun.
What do you need? For Heavy, everyone, male and female, need athletic groin protection. For fencing, only men need an athletic cup, but everyone needs to wear or bring a long sleeved shirt. We provide everything else!
5:00-9:00 -- If the more martial aspects are not your thing, why not come and find out about arts? During practice, we have Arts and Science time, which gives people a chance to sit with friends and work on sewing, embroidery and more! If you are interested in learning any new, pre-1600 craft, let us know! We can get people to teach you…for free!
