DC Fencers Club

Dear all, due to recent snowstorms, DCFC is closed today.

Last weekend, DCFC held a club youth competition for both sabre and epee.  68 fencers participated with competitions in three different age groups.   The children also raised over $3600 in pledges for Haitian relief. Congratulations to our youth fencers for their excellent work!  Many of them will be competing in Annandale this weekend at the Capital Clash Super Youth Circuit event.  Good luck and have fun!

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 World Championship medallists that train like professional athletes. No matter who you are, there will always be a good match for you at our club.

This site is under construction, so bear with us while we work out the kinks. Meanwhile 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!
