Mission Statement
The Fargo-Moorhead Fencing Club is an registered North Dakota Non-profit Organization and a 501c3 federal tax-exempt Public Charity Organization. We are an ALL VOLUNTEER organization that teaches fencing in the FM area! Our coaches and board of directors are dedicated to teaching the sport because WE LOVE FENCING!
Description
The
sport of fencing is fast and athletic, a far cry from the choreographed bouts you see on film or on the stage. Instead of swinging from a chandelier or leaping from balconies, you will see two fencers performing an intense dance on a 6-feet by 44-feet strip. The movement is so fast the touches are scored electrically - a lot more like Star Wars than Errol Flynn.
All our coaches are required to be certified in order to teach, either by the United States Fencing Association (Governing body for fencing in the USA) and\or the United States Fencing Coaches Association (Accreditation board for professional fencing coaches).
