About us: The Hangtown Saber Club is your source in the Sierra Nevada Foothills for modern sword fighting. We specialize in saber, the lightest of the three weapons, and offer recreational and competitive fencing options. Our coaches know how to help you reach your fencing goals, whether that is competitive success, greater fitness, or just shaking off the week.
About fencing: One of the first six sports included in the re-born modern Olympics, fencing is the perfect 21st century sport. It engages the mind so completely that the workout is a secondary, though wonderful, benefit. Safer than jogging, fencing is for everyone who can stay on task for at least 15 minutes at a time, and can breathe without difficulty.
Beginning class schedule and location: Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Lord’s Gym in Diamond Springs, CA. Each class runs four weeks. A class is currently in progress. The starting date for the next class will be announced here when the date is set.
Coaches: Ted Smith: coach of 2008 Olympic silver medalist in team saber as well as scores of national, Pacific Coast Section and collegiate champions.
Chaz Smith: National fencing champion in two weapons. Many-time finalist at USFA North American Cups. World Cup competitor.
