My kids and wife have been fencing here since my oldest son took introductory lessons through the Fairfax County Parks program in ParkTakes. That was over 8 years ago, and both my sons went on to fence for their college clubs.
Friendly, low stress, and great coaches... Several coaches and members are current or former ranked fencers and national champions, and one is a former US Olympian.
Great whether you want to prepare to compete,or if you just want fun and exercise.
