Members are expected to have their own gear, including electric weapons, within a reasonable amount of time. This level of membership is made up of people who support fencing and seek to promote it within the Fort Wayne community, but are not active participants within the sport themselves. The Summit City Fencing Club is currently undergoing a structural reorganization and as such is implementing new ideas and troubleshooting various problems. The Club tiers listed above are a new concept and membership dues will accompany them in the future. There are currently no dues charged by the Club itself, but USFA membership and Parks Dept fees are costs that will be incurred.
Members participate in fencing tournaments around the state, and the surrounding Midwest.
All USFA events are electric events, meaning that there is a scoring box with red and green lights which indicate when a participant has scored a point. USFA members act within a certain code of conduct and share a common idea of what constitutes proper fencing. The Club has weapons available for use as necessary, but strongly encourages members to bring their own. When people are able to drive with a group in their vehicle, it is appreciated.
