Meet Rogue Fencing
Tanya Smith runs things around Rogue Fencing. She's been training HEMA for over 10 years, and has traveled to many clubs to hone her practice. Her main focus is German Longsword. Though she has also branched out to train rapier and sidesword. In addition to historical fencing, Tanya has taught foil at various schools in the New York City area since 2013.
She doesn’t feel like opening classes up to the general public, considering how awful some of the general public has behaved between 2020 and now, when they were asked to consider others. Like give her a break, some people even showed up to classes in the middle of everything without masks and acted super prissy when asked to use proper technique. You can only expect so much from people providing a service! So that means services are limited.
