Metro Chicago Fencing Center is a private fencing training center devoted to developing fencers of all ages.  We offer world class fencing instruction.  We encourage fencers to be self directed and involved in the learning experience for themselves and all members of the club.  Coaches employ patient and gentle teaching strategies.  Our fencers have access to various games, an interactive drilling target, bouting and fencing activities.  Our coaches enjoy participating in games and joking with students, developing personal relationships with each fencer.  We are dedicated to fostering a fun, creative and intellectually stimulating environment encouraging personal growth, leadership abilities and acquisition and development of fencing skills.

 About Us

 

Our members are both recreational and competitive fencers, participating nationally and internationally.

Our convenient Glenview location offers easy access to and from the city of Chicago as well.  Please see Location for more information.

 

About Fencing

 

Fencing is a unique sport that requires use of both the body and mind.  It is often called "physical chess" due to the complexity of the sport.  There are three distinct weapons in Fencing: Saber, Epee and Foil.  Metro Chicago Fencing Center offers instruction in Saber and Epee.  Fencing is friendly to all ages and ability levels.  A fencer can begin to learn and enjoy the sport at the age of 4 and continue their entire lives.  Competitive fencing begins with a 10 and Under category and continues through to a 60 and Over Veterans category.
