Many of our students are either attending or have attended top National universities on the strength of their studies, fencing, and fencing networks. Our fencers are seriously involved as varsity fencing team members at high schools, colleges, and on the national level. LFA invites anyone interested in learning to fence, (or wanting to practice) to visit our warm, friendly, and well established club. Membership is open to any interested and motivated person. We work hard and produce results!
We believe that what we offer is different. Please visit and try us out. Stop by, bring your gear, or borrow some from the club until you get your own. You will have an opportunity to tour our facility, meet our staff, have a few bouts with our fencers, and talk with our fencing parents.
Visit and fence, you’ll love the difference!
