En Garde Fencing, Santa Rosa
Gifted with that balance of “strict” and “silly” so prized in a coach, owner Jim Liebich realizes that behind the desire for order in fencing is the thrill of chaos in combat. The homey En Garde in Santa Rosa engages kids and adults in the fun side of our dark side.
Fencing classes often end with a foam ax battle royale, and battlefield tactics of medieval European weapons have their own class. In fact, those historical European martial arts are highlighted in the annual St. Paddy’s Day Brawl, where adults face off and—in the tradition of any good Irishperson on a holiday—fight.
En Garde Fencing is the perfect place for people of all ages to learn an ancient art and have a great time doing it. The club also hosts regular tournaments and events, providing a wonderful opportunity for fencers to compete and improve their skills. En garde!
