In two weeks (Saturday, April 2nd) there is going to be a big sparring day for members of all the local CT clubs. It should be a lot of fun! It's hosted by Jason L. Cook (the coach of our sibling-club Exiles new England), which means it'll be in Milford, which is pretty close to…

Hi Fencers, I'm writing with some great news: on Monday, Feb 14th, we will finally get back to training! Hooray for that - it will be great to see everyone again. (Yes, that's Valentine's Day. Yes, swords are very romantic) I also have some less good news: given the omicron situation, and the requirements of…

Dear sword friends, I'm very sad to say it, but with COVID rates still being pretty much at their peak in New Haven right now, I've decided to cancel class for the next two weeks. Sorry to everyone who is disappointed by this (I am, too)!One a more positive note, the medical folks are predicting…

I'm very sad to write this, but after a bit of discussion I've decided to cancel class this week (Monday 3rd) and for the two weeks following (Monday 10th, Monday 17th), due to the current spike in Covid rates (and the further spike expected to follow the holidays). I do apologize to everyone disappointed by…

Hi sword friends, It's the holiday season, and so no doubt some folks will be out of town - but our training continues regardless! New Haven Historical Fencing will still be training every Monday night throughout the holiday period.We are, however, watching the Omicron situation closely. No plans to close as yet, but make sure…

Hi all, With a heavy heart, I'm afraid I'm going to have to cancel class this week (Monday 8th November, 2021) due to illness. Please accept my apologies! I like it as little as you do... 🙂 Training will resume on Monday November 15th, as usual. Apologies again! Joe

I'm sad to announce that the weather has forced us to cancel our October 30th event - it looks as if it's going to pour, and that would be miserable. It's a pity, because it looked as if we were going to have a really nice turnout, and a great day - but we already…

Ok folks, this is the best NHHF announcement I've had the pleasure of making in a long time. Ever since we lost our lovely yoga studio, we've been searching for a new indoor space. Today I am happy to announce that WE HAVE A NEW HOME! Starting at 6pm *this coming Monday* (18th October), we'll…

Hi all - we're training tonight as usual (Monday October 11th). A reminder: please do bring your fencing mask, if you have one. (And if yo don't have one yet, I'd strongly recommend ordering one as soon as you can scrape together the money! Having good fencing mask *drastically* increases the amount of fun you…
