Epic Skills Pathway Successfully Launched!We successfully launched the Epic Skills Pathway system this weekend with 30 fencers tested, on 3 levels, in two weapons! We will have more testing coming soon for fencers with more experience as well as another test for our younger fencers. Soon, we will have every Epic fencer under the age of 18 tested and given feedback on where to improve. Fencers over 18 are also welcome to be tested! For those that participated this weekend, we will be preparing report cards and rewards this week. Stay tuned! |
