Who are we?
Fencing Club at Indiana University is a competitive and recreational sports club striving to attract passionate and ready to learn members. We welcome both beginner and experienced fencers!
​
We compete as a team in the Midwest Fencing Conference and nationally with the United States Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs (USACFC). We also host United States Fencing Association (USFA tournaments) for individual competition.
One Sport, Three Weapons
Fencing is a combat sport consisting of three different weapons. Each weapon is unique in its rules to its uniform. Choosing your weapon is a personal decision! Many people are drawn to one weapon, while others want to try all three before they choose.
Sabre
Foil
Épée
No weapon is better than the others (but we like to make fun of them). Switching weapons isn’t uncommon. You’re not locked into the one you choose first, and some people fence multiple.
