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:

friendly environment.

* Founded April 2011 - But 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.
