The club’s mission is to establish a large fencing fellowship in the Columbus area, introducing fencing as a mainstream physical activity to a much wider audience than that which is currently aware of it. The club not only creates a welcoming and supporting atmosphere for fencers of all skill levels and ages but also, more importantly, it promotes a healthy and active lifestyle among members.
By offering such clear benefits the club hopes to achieve a higher level of awareness of fencing as a valid sport than ever before. By raising awareness the club hopes to increase the number of skilled fencers in Columbus and eventually establish the Club as a growing force in local, national and in the International arena of fencing.
