​PARKING AT TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY
Most of the parking spaces at the university require permits. I have indicated these areas, along with the FREE parking available at a city lot just a short walk from the gym in the below PDF. Should you be interested, there are permits that can be purchased if you are a frequent visitor.
Please check the posted permit regulations wherever you park while on camps!

LESSON FAQ'S
Important Things to Know
"I believe fencing is based on something real -- universal principals dealing with the way human beings think and move. By mastering the application of these concepts, through long, hard study, and practice, a fencing student is led logically to personal control -- first over himself, and then over his opponent."
