Welcome to the Indianapolis Fencing Club, a staple for those looking to fence in Indiana since 1978


ATTENTION FENCERS: Saturday Open Fencing Now Available

Join us on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Boys and Girls club for open fencing. So far turn out has been great for both epee and foil fencers, but with six electrical fencing strips we have room for plenty more! Floor fee for visiting fencers is only $5. Before you head over, always check our Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/groups/47084161920/) to see if we will be open on a particular Saturday (due to conflicts with the staff attending tournaments, etc.). We should have an announcement up by Friday morning for the following Saturday.

Indianapolis Fencing Club's commitment to safety:

Fencing is an extremely safe sport. Most injuries consist of pulled muscles and minor bruises. Even so, safety, both on and off-strip, is of utmost importance at the Indianapolis Fencing Club. The responsible use of weapons and other fencing gear is expected at all times. Masks are an absolute requirement during any fencing or two-person drilling. Period. All club members are required to wear plastrons and jackets when fencing and drilling. The sole exception is when taking a lesson from a club instructor, who may waive this rule. Members are encouraged to wear fencing knickers or pants of heavy material. The use of appropriate rigid protection for men and women is also strongly encouraged. Unsafe or irresponsible conduct will not be tolerated, and may result in ejection form the premises and/or dismissal from the club.
