Services
Nashville Elite Fencing Club, also referred to as NEFC, offers a curriculum that includes group classes, private lessons, and competitive training for students of all ages. The site outlines several programs. The Youth 1 class is for beginner and intermediate youth fencers and focuses on developing agility, balance, and coordination through fencing-related games and activities, with all equipment provided and an Intro Lesson Package required beforehand. The Youth 2 class adds more structured training and bouting with electric equipment, with options for skills testing and rank advancement similar to a belt system, and requires three months of Youth 1 classes first.
The Adult Group class caters to those 18 and older, welcoming both new fencers and those continuing from the teen class, and offers small class sizes with personalized attention and recreational bouts. The Open Fencing Competitive program is described as commitment-based rather than skill-based, intended for fencers ready to compete at regional, national, and international levels, with prerequisites that include completing the Foundations Program and being at least 10 years old during the calendar year. The Open Fencing Elite Team program is tailored for fencers competing at the highest levels, including NCAA Division I, II, and III athletes, and includes unlimited access to competitive and elite-level training sessions, comprehensive physical conditioning, two private lessons per week, and open fencing sessions.
About
The club describes Olympic fencing as a competitive sport featuring combat between two opponents using one of three swords: foil, épée, or sabre. According to the site, foil targets the torso, épée allows hits on the entire body, and sabre targets the upper body, with competitors wearing a mask, jacket, and glove for safety and matches held on a strip called a piste under rules established by the Fédération Internationale d’Escrime. The club invites newcomers to join a trial class with no experience needed and notes that special discounts are available for college students and temporary visitors to Nashville.
