Welcome!
Fencing is a fun and exciting sport that anyone can learn. The Minnesota Sword Club has been developing fencers since 1982 at its present location. Besides excellent facilities we provide instruction for adults, teens, youths and competitive minded fencers. Most of the Minnesota Sword Club members are recreational fencers, but many compete for the challenge and excitement. Some of our past and present youngsters have developed into national level champions and have been chosen for international teams representing the United States in world competitions. However, the main reason people fence is simply because it's fun.
People Fence Because:
- It's fun and it's exciting!
- To meet other interesting people.
- To exercise without being bored.
- To find a great recreational or competitive sport.
- Fence hard or easy by picking a similar partner.
- No need to purchase equipment as a beginner.

YouTube links of fencing
The two links below are of saber fencers. The first is of Sam Kragh and Johanna Thill practicing at the Minnesota Sword Club. When either fencer raises their back non-fencing arm and extend their pointer finger it means, "You scored." Both fencers have been high ranked American fencers in the past or presently. The second link is of two top world class European saber fencers in a world class finals of a competition. Have a look!Sam and Jo practicing
