     
The Fencing
Institute is dedicated to teaching the sport of fencing. We teach both competition as well
as recreational fencing, and we teach all three blades -- foil, epee and sabre. Our
primary goals are to promote the sport of fencing and to help youths obtain fencing
scholarships/financial aid to attend college. Please join us for a class at
our fencing center in West View. After all, fencing is an Olympic Gold Medal Sport.
 | We are a member club of the United States Fencing
Association. |
