 Welcome
to the Summit City Fencing Club website! The SCFC is a
community-based club located in Fort Wayne, Indiana -- a group of people looking for an unusual
recreational activity, some exercise, a sport that uses both
brains and muscle, and one-on-one competition. We like to keep
things pretty informal, so please stop by any of our classes if
you are interested in seeing what we're all about. See our
Calendar for more information on upcoming demonstrations and
classes!
Fencing is an activity which has been around for a
long time, with its origins in the sword fighting duels of old. Nowadays, fencing
is purely a sporting event that focuses on improving balance, coordination, strategic thinking, and concentration. SCFC
instructors teach basic fencing
skills, both
offensive and defensive, and they emphasize the
positive aspects of the sport, including its high
regard for
courtesy and chivalry. Beginning fencers learn about the three different
weapons (foil,
epee, sabre) and how to wield them in an effective
and responsible manner.
If you are
interested in fencing in Fort Wayne, please join us at our salle
located at 4123 Clubview Drive
off Engle Road in Fort Wayne or contact our president Tim
Hegemier at 260-710-6976. To learn

Competitive
fencers within the Fort Wayne community pay dues to be part of the
United States Fencing Association (USFA).
Members may participate in fencing tournaments around the state,
and the surrounding Midwest. They are even able to qualify to
fence in national tournaments across the country! USFA members
act within a certain code of conduct and share a common idea of
what constitutes proper fencing. The Summit City Fencing Club is
proud to be affiliated with this organization, and encourages all
its members to join.
Please get in
touch with us if you have questions or any interest in the sport,
or simply drop by during salle hours!
