| I've only just moved to Calgary, but I'm a begining level SCA fencer. Depending on what you wnat to get out of fencing as a sports hobby, this may be the form you've been looking for. SCA fencing is a martial art, as opposed to a sport, per se. It is entirely based on the schools of fencing taught throughout the medieval and renaissance times. It deals with a variety of weapon styles and combinations, is much more flexible and aggressive (in my humble opinion, anyway), and generally just a lot of fun. There are open practices three times a week held on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday evenings in the field beside Banff Trail Community Center (on the corner of 20th st and 20th ave, within easy walking distance of the C-train station). I'd strongly reccomend that you at least go take a look and see if it's something that interests you. There are some very pleasant and highly skilled fighters who volunteer their time as instructors. |
