Sport Fencing Class

Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Location: Rose Center

Rose Center is offering a new class in Fencing. Classes will be held on Tuesdays from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. beginning January 8. Ken Patterson will be teaching the course. The fee is $50 per month. The minimum age is twelve. If you have questions, call 865-712-2327 or emaildebikemon@bellsouth.net.

Fencing is an individual competition between two opponents with blunted light-weight swords. Fencing is a contact sport that relies upon reflex, agility and coordination. Who can fence? Anyone! Any body type can benefit from the exercise. It is a good workout that goes at exactly the speed you want it to go. The sport of fencing is fast and athletic, a far cry from the choreographed bouts you see on film or on the stage. Instead of swinging from a chandelier or leaping from balconies, you will see two fencers performing an intense dance on a six-feet-by-40-feet strip. The movement is so fast the touches are scored electrically - more like Star Wars than Errol Flynn.

Foil, épée and sabre are the three weapons used in the sport of fencing. Foil and épée are point-thrusting weapons. Sabre is a point-thrusting as well as a cutting weapon. The target areas differ for the three weapons, though all three are scored electrically.The main object of a fencing bout (what an individual "game" is called) is to effectively score 15 points (in direct elimination play) or five points (in preliminary pool play) on your opponent before he scores that number on you. Each time a fencer scores a touch she receives a point.

To register for the class call Rose Center at 423-581-4330. New students may join at any time.

New Tai Chi Classes

Time: 9:00am - 10:30am

Location: Rose Center

The Taoist Tai Chi Society of Tennessee is offering three new beginner classes at the Rose Center in Morristown starting in January. Beginning Tai Chi classes will meet on Saturdays from 9:00 to 10:30 A.M. beginning January 5, Wednesdays from 9:00 to 10:30 A.M. starting January 9, and Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M. beginning January 10. The courses will each continue to meet every week until the entire set of 108 tai chi moves is learned, usually about four months. A Continuing Class is held on Saturday mornings from 10:30 A.M. to Noon for those who have completed a beginning class.

Members of the Society pay a one-time $20 registration fee and a monthly donation of $30, $20 for seniors or $50 for families. The exercises can be performed in any comfortable clothing. Shoes that offer good support and balance, such
as comfortable walking shoes or sneakers are required, but there are no special uniforms. People of all ages can learn the slow, gentle, continuous movements of Taoist Tai Chi, and it can be adapted to match any level of ability.

Taoist Tai Chi (taijiquan) is a centuries old exercise that promotes health and reverses the effects of ageing. While most of us think of tai chi as an exercise for able-bodied adults, the benefits to those with health challenges are substantial. Physicians studying this ancient art have reported improved balance, stronger bones and lowered blood pressure. It helps a wide range of chronic ailments, and in some cases improves short-term memory, sleep habits, and reduces stress. Those suffering from debilitating disease and injury receive great benefit.

The Society's purpose is to make Taoist Tai Chi available to all, to promote its health benefits, to practice charity, and promote cultural exchange. All of the Society's instructors are accredited volunteers who donate their services. To learn more about the Society call 318-0889 (Morristown), 865-482-7761 (Oak Ridge), 865-577-1665 (Knoxville) or visit http://www.ttcs.org. Students register at the first class or call Rose Center at (423) 581-4330.

Taoist Tai Chi (taijiquan) is a centuries old exercise that promotes health and reverses the effects of ageing. While most of us think of tai chi as an exercise for able-bodied adults, the benefits to those with health challenges are substantial. Physicians studying this ancient art have reported improved balance, stronger bones and lowered blood pressure. It helps a wide range of chronic ailments, and in some cases improves short-term memory, sleep habits, and reduces stress. Those suffering from debilitating disease and injury receive great benefit.

The Society's purpose is to make Taoist Tai Chi available to all, to promote its health benefits, to practice charity, and promote cultural exchange. All of the Society's instructors are accredited volunteers who donate their services.

Sport Fencing Class

Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Location: Rose Center

Rose Center is offering a new class in Fencing. Classes will be held on Tuesdays from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. beginning January 8. Ken Patterson will be teaching the course. The fee is $50 per month. The minimum age is twelve. If you have questions, call 865-712-2327 or emaildebikemon@bellsouth.net.

Fencing is an individual competition between two opponents with blunted light-weight swords. Fencing is a contact sport that relies upon reflex, agility and coordination. Who can fence? Anyone! Any body type can benefit from the exercise. It is a good workout that goes at exactly the speed you want it to go. The sport of fencing is fast and athletic, a far cry from the choreographed bouts you see on film or on the stage. Instead of swinging from a chandelier or leaping from balconies, you will see two fencers performing an intense dance on a six-feet-by-40-feet strip. The movement is so fast the touches are scored electrically - more like Star Wars than Errol Flynn.

Foil, épée and sabre are the three weapons used in the sport of fencing. Foil and épée are point-thrusting weapons. Sabre is a point-thrusting as well as a cutting weapon. The target areas differ for the three weapons, though all three are scored electrically.The main object of a fencing bout (what an individual "game" is called) is to effectively score 15 points (in direct elimination play) or five points (in preliminary pool play) on your opponent before he scores that number on you. Each time a fencer scores a touch she receives a point.

To register for the class call Rose Center at 423-581-4330. New students may join at any time.
