Welcome to the University of West Florida Historical Fencing Club! Meeting times/room:

Friday 5:00-7:00 (blue studio)

This is a university sport club focused on (but not limited to) historical fencing. Equi

pment and training is provided for free to all students, faculty, and staff. Alumni and non university affiliates will need to purchase a gym membership from the UWF HLS facility. in short, swordplay in a system that is pre 20th century. Generally speaking we train 17th century Italian rapier, but we also study and compete in a wide variety of weapons (foil, epee, saber, basket-hilted sword, longsword, and sword and buckler, just to name a few)

No matter the sword, fencing is a fun and challenging activity that offers an alternative to the usual contemporary sports while offering all the same benefits of friendship and comraderie.

We held a tournament (foil and epee) last weekend and Kira took 2nd in foil! Amazing job!

Fencer of the week: Kira Benton

Started fencing: Spring 2024

Major: mechanical engineering 

What drew you to fencing: i saw it at the student engagement fair and it looked cool so i thought I'd try it.

Favorite weapon and favorite thing about fencing:  Epee because its quick it takes  skill to make sure only your light goes off. I like fencing because it sword fighting made safe. How doesn't like to play with swords?!
