Fencers Club is the oldest fencing school in the United States. We are a nonprofit organization with over 500 members. Although we are proud of our Olympians and World Champions, we are just as proud of our members who fence for the love of the game and challenge themselves in intellectual and cultural endeavors. Our goals are to provide the highest quality facility and instruction for the sport of modern fencing. Through fencing, we support our athletes and members to challenge themselves in academics, promote a culture of sharing, and engage in community outreach efforts. We are the home of the Peter Westbrook Foundation, an organization dedicated to mentoring inner city youth through fencing.
