Dutchtown

Meeting Room AB

Discover the art and skill behind this fast-paced sport that has been a part of the Olympics since 1896.

See a live demonstration of fencing and learn about its history, techniques, and equipment. Fencing relies on quick decision-making, physical strength and balance, sportsmanship, and self-defense basics. Instructors and students from the Red Stick School of Fencing will show footwork and duels, followed by a Q&A.

Ryan O’Connor, owner and head coach of Red Stick School of Fencing, has been fencing for more than 30 years. Since 2012, the school has trained students ages 8 through 70+ in Olympic and historical fencing classes. Coach O’Connor is also the President of the Baton Rouge Fencing Club and the current Louisiana Division Saber Champion.
