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 professional 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. Others have received college scholarships for their performances as high school competitors. However, the main reason people fence is simply because it's fun.

• People fence Because:
•     It's fun and exciting!
•     To exercise without being bored
•     To find a great recreational or competitive sport
•     To meet other interesting people
•     To try a new activity without needing to purchase equipment

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. Both fencers have been high ranked American fencers in the past or presently. When either fencer raises their back non-fencing arm and extend their pointer finger it means, "You scored." The second link is of two top world class saber fencers in a world finals. Have a look!
