240-424-0749 Our fencing programs introduce the Ashburn,
Sterling, Reston and other North Virginia/
Loudoun County area students to the many
benefits of this Olympic sport. Beyond the
fitness benefits, fencing promotes intellectual
development, decision making skills, self
discipline and confidence. All taught in a safe,
supportive environment. We focus on Epee
fencing: the modern evolution of the rapier duel.
Epee fencing is the most straight-forward of the
three Olympic fencing disciplines: the athlete
that hits first scores the touch and the whole
body is target. The referee trusts the scoring
machine completely and there are no right-of-
way rules. Learn the Olympic sport of swords
and join us for a fun workout, fencing and
new friendships! TypesSpecial Activity
