Beginner Fencing Classes at DC Fencers Club

Modern fencing is an Olympic sport with roots in European swordfighting of centuries past. Today, fencing is a competitive sport of strategy, finesse, skill, and endurance. Fencing offers children and teens a positive physical activity, and teaches young people life skills such as confidence, focus, decisionmaking, and respect.

In beginner fencing classes, students learn the fundamentals with games, exercises, footwork, and bouting with fellow novice fencers. Just show up ready to move, and bring a water bottle (we provide filtered water).

For more than 30 years, DC Fencers Club (DCFC) has trained Olympians, World Champions, National Champions and NCAA athletes. Located in the Forest Glen/Silver Spring neighborhood, DCFC offers rolling, monthly enrollment for beginner and intermediate fencing classes. Classes take place Monday – Thursday from 5-8 pm and Saturdays from 9 am – 2 pm. Feel free to visit our club and register online today!
