Fencing 101: Learn to Fence
Unleash Your Inner Fencer!
Trust us when we say that fencing is a sport you have to experience to truly understand. The rush of landing the perfect touch against your opponent, the chess-like strategy of each bout and the community of supportive athletes can't be captured on a website.
That's why we're thrilled to invite you to join our vibrant USA Fencing family by visiting one of our USA Fencing member clubs in nearly every corner of the nation!
Our sport knows no age limits. Whether you're five or 85, a complete novice or an Olympic/Paralympic hopeful, there's a perfect fit for you. Dreaming of collegiate competition or representing Team USA on the global stage? We've got pathways for that. And we love seeing multi-generational fencers — parents, kids and grandparents facing off in practice bouts at their club.
