If you're like us, you like poking other folks with pointy metal objects in a social situation. In all seriousness, fencing is an activity which has been around for a long time, with its origins in the swordfighting duels of old. Nowadays, fencing is purely a sporting event that focuses on improving balance, coordination, strategic thinking, and concentration. Classes are open to anybody interested and are designed to teach basic fencing skills, both offensive and defensive, as well as emphasize the positive aspects of the sport, including its high regard for courtesy and chivalry. If you are interested in fencing with this organization, you should know a little about us.
Classes are available for kids, beginners, and continuing fencers.
Students divide into pairs to practice new skills and later try them in actual bouts. Click here for information on how to register for classes. After completing the Beginners courses through the Parks Dept, people have the option of becoming full members of the Summit City Fencing Club. Our organization is comprised of three levels of membership, which vary according to interest and commitment. The top level of membership denotes the members who are highly active in the sport and express an interest in participating in tournaments around the state.
