Cobra Club in NJ is hosting a RYC

Some of the youth parents have inquired about other regional competitions that the younger fencers can go to.  The Cobra Club is hosting a RYC (Regional Youth Circuit) competition.  These types of competitions are specifically geared towards the younger, less experienced, getting their feet wet fencers and parents.  The Cobra Club is a great place to experience a competition in a different area, against different fencers.

The Cobra Club is located in Jersey City, NJ.  Fairly easy to get to, a stones throw to the Holland Tunnel to NYC.

Info below:

Cobra Fencing Club will host the Denise O'Connor Youth RYC on Sunday, October 24, 2010. 
Events will be held in all weapons, ages Y8-Y14.
