The George Mason University Fencing Club offers a unique opportunity for beginning and experienced fencers alike to compete and better their fencing skills. We have over 20 members and provide rental equipment (free your first semester) to all our members. We are a fun-loving club sport that accepts everyone regardless of your skill level or experience! Our goal is for members to become more confident in themselves both on and off the strip, make friends, become leaders and, above all else, have fun! The club participates in 6-7 competitions a semester, with opportunities for both individual and team competitions. We hold practice 3 days a week in the Recreation and Athletic Complex (RAC) 7:00pm to 9:00pm (Mon/Thurs) and the Aquatic and Fitness Center (AFC) 2:00pm to 4:00pm(Sat), we hope to see you there!
Practices are held 3 times a week with Monday and Thursday practices meeting in the RAC Gym from 7pm-9pm and Saturday practices meeting in the AFC from 2pm-4pm. We compete in competitions throughout the semester in both the Baltimore-Washington Collegiate Fencing Championship as well as USA Fencing Regional and National competitions. We also organize fundraising, community service, and club social events throughout the year!
We provide affordable rental gear FREE for your first semester! The club has coaches for each blade group who attend practice regularly to organize technical drills and training. Our coaches are dedicated to helping all of our club members reach their personal goals, no matter your skill level. We have dedicated equipment for para-athletes as well. Please look into this link for how para-fencing works!
The GMU Fencing Club is a great way to make connections with fellow students and students from other universities! Fencing offers a unique opportunity to make new friends and then stab them :) It is our mission that all our members will improve their fencing skills while forming lasting friendships through the camaraderie of friendly competition!
