DC Fencers Club

My family has been fencing at DCFC for 5 years and I could not have found a better place. The atmosphere at the club is conducive to any level of fencer. The coaching staff has a wide variety of technical skills that helps to develop every fencer into the fencer they aim to be. I would recommend this club and its coaches to anyone who was looking to start fencing or is moving to a new area!

Whether you're an elite competitor looking to climb the national standings, or a total beginner looking to try out the sport of fencing for the first time, DC Fencers Club will help you identify and achieve your goals in a professional, welcoming, and comfortable environment. There are class and lesson options for fencers of all ages, including a outstandingly vibrant and diverse adult program. Class ratios are kept small, and classes are led by passionate and experienced instructors. A diverse range of classes are available with focuses to benefit athletes at various stages of development, including classes focused on footwork and fitness. Students of all skill levels are matched to experienced coaches whose approaches to the sport match the students' learning style and goals. The coach

I have been fencing here for 14 years.When I walked into DCFC on a cold February night, I was a very rusty recreational fencer. Had anyone told me that night that I would one day represent the US at two World Championships and have the opportunity to compete against Olympic fencers, I would not have believed him. I owe my success to both the outstanding coaching and the wonderful community of fencers I found here. Fencers at all levels, from beginner to elite are welcomed and encouraged to find their potential.

This is a great fencing club that caters to recreational as well as competitive fencers from age 8 to 80+. Focusing primarily on epee and saber this club is staffed by a number of very competent coaches and assistant coaches. It is also conveniently located off the beltway (GA Avenue exit) with plenty of parking so is easily accessible from MD, DC and VA. Fencing is a great sport. DCFC is a great and welcoming place to get into it (or get back into it).

I have been a part of the DCFC community since 1996 and I can highly recommend this club. The coaches are excellent, and the epee fencing is top-notch. Whether you are a beginner or an elite fencer, this is great fencing club!
