Welcome to the DC Fencers Club

Welcome to DCFC, one of the best fencing clubs in the USA. We are proud to present opportunities for anyone to practice one of the original Olympic sports in a friendly, easy going environment. Our members range from recreational fencers that fence for fun to National Champions and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) scholarship recipients that train like professional athletes. No matter who you are, there will always be a good match for you at our club.

Feel free to browse this Wikipedia article about the sport. There is a lot of info there, but in short, modern fencing is a full contact combat sport without injuries. It’s a great workout, builds character and physique, and anyone from age 8 and up can do it. It’s never too late to start!
