Founded in 2010, OFC is devoted to teaching the art and sport of fencing for beginner to advanced students of all ages in San Antonio and surrounding areas. We’re focused on providing a rewarding experience that will build confidence, reinforce teamwork, and inspire the personal growth necessary for your child to take the next step in life. We offer both recreational and competitive fencing classes to encourage students to enjoy the sport of modern fencing and achieve their goals. Many of our fencers have earned medals in various local, regional, national, and international competitions. Our fencers have been offered scholarships and recruited spots at the following NCAA Division I fencing schools: Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, Harvard, Yale, UPenn, Duke, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Air Force Academy, St. John’s, and the University of the Incarnate Word. We hope you consider joining us and falling in love with the Olympic sport of epee fencing!
Aside from the thrill of sword fighting, fencing has a number of benefits including learning discipline, technique, agility, physical fitness, and overcoming challenging situations under pressure. Fencers build confidence over time as their skill level improves, becoming fitter and stronger. Additionally, many top universities have varsity NCAA fencing programs and scholarships available. Fencing can provide an edge in the competitive college application process.
We are dedicated to teaching the Olympic sport of fencing to all ages and skill levels. Our programs are designed to provide a fun and supportive environment where you can learn the fundamentals of epee fencing and progress at your own pace. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced fencer, we have something for everyone. Our Little Olympians program is perfect for children ages 4-6 who are just starting out, while our private lessons and open fencing classes are suitable for all children and adults. We look forward to helping you discover the joy of fencing with us.
