Evening foil fencing in LA?

[dberke]

I'll be down in Los Angeles through Sunday and was hoping to find a place to drop in and do some open foil fencing in the evening. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm primarily looking for something on the Westside, or possibly the Burbank/Studio City area.

Also, are there any tournaments going on this weekend? According to AskFRED, it's a quiet weekend...

Thanks,
Dan

BHFC has foil fencing on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I believe. They're in Culver City.

LAIFC has foil on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. Things usually start going around 7:30... some of the kids start earlier.
Wednesday night is a tournament. Usually 15 or so people. Also, right now, there is informal gathering on Tuesday and Thursday, although I have no idea who's going to be wandering in.
Beverly Hills FC has their foil on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. They've always been very good about emailing me back right away when I've had questions about times and such.
Swordplay in Burbank is another option... not sure about their foil times though.

There's a tournament at OCFA in Anaheim. Pre-registration is required:

Doesn't look to be a very strong tournament though.

Dan,
LAIFC has some visiting Eastern Europeans (from St. Petersberg) with us this month. They are excellent fencers and you will definately get your moneys worth!

My understanding is that Nick Chinman is suppose to be arriving today. I can verify once my kid gets to the club.

Couturier is on the Westside. Mondays and Thursdays start at 8pm. There are, unfortunately, foil fencers there.
