On Thursday, September 15th, 2016 at 12pm, the Renaissance Fencing Club and Salle Saint-George will be presenting a demonstration of Classical Fencing in the Agora of the AMS Nest. This is a unique opportunity to observe a tradition that is a descendant of the martial arts of Europe. A variety of weapons ranging from the Foil to Spear will be demonstrated showing how scientific principles were employed consistently through history to survive serious encounters. This event will provide a glimpse into the Foundations of Classical Fencing course offered by UBC Recreation on Saturday, October 15, 2016.
