Lunge into the excitement of fencing
Why Fencing?
Fencing is a lifelong sport often referred to as “chess at 80 miles an hour” that develops coordination, balance, discipline, confidence, teamwork, reaction time, physical & mental fitness, and decision making ability.
Ample opportunities to fence in college at the club or NCAA level.
Second fastest sport in the Olympics and one of the safest.
At Salt City Swords Fencing Club, our mission is to make the fun and excitement of fencing more accessible to participants of all ages and to help people discover, enjoy, and advance in our favorite sport.
We aim to not only develop each fencer’s technical skills, but also focus on meeting the physical and mental challenges that the sport provides. Fencing is a unique sport that helps build confidence, offers excellent exercise, and is just plain fun.
Salt Lake City Fencing Academy, operating as Salt City Swords Fencing Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to expanding access to the sport of fencing in Utah for participants of all ages and abilities.
