Serving Arlington and Northern Virginia

Welcome!  Our mission is to provide convenient local venues for recreational fencing and fencing classes, and a great learning experience. 

Young and old, experienced and beginner, if you want to fence, let's do it. Our initial instructional program emphasis has been youth fencing, and we especially invite Arlington residents grades 2-12; we are now encouraging adult fencers to join us as well. Open fencing  nights are open to anyone (non-member visitors pay a small floor fee).

Fence, or learn to fence

Fall schedule now: fencing Monday, Wed and Thurs.  New: Saturday classes.

Wannabe fencers: Learn the modern Olympic sport of sword play in a fun friendly environment.  Arlington Fencers' Club is dedicated to the study of fencing and expanding the sport’s practice and competition opportunities in Arlington.

Volunteers needed!

  Arlington Fencers Club is 501(c)(3) 'public charity' incorporated 2011 in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Support your club by shopping here

  Help support the club by donating to our roll-out strip fund!  most of our accessible low cost venues have poor floors, and a $1600 roll conductive rubber strip makes them useable.  Save our knees! (11/15, $600 to go!)

  * Founded April 2011 -  we have deep roots in Arlington, and we lay claim to the legacy of our old clubs, Arlington's own Fred Appel fencing club (Olympic fencing), and DiGrasse’s School of Fence. Arlington has an ancient if uneasy association with sabers in particular. .
