The United States Fencing Association, or USFA, sanctions official tournaments. These range from the small local events held at fencing clubs to major annual events like the Junior Olympics and Summer Nationals. Membership is required to compete.
United States Fencing Coaches Association
The United States Fencing Coaches Association, or USFCA, offers standardized training and certification for coaches.
Fédération Internationale d'Escrime
The Fédération Internationale d'Escrime, or FIE, is responsible for international tournaments like the events during the Summer Olympics. Equipment with an FIE stamp is certified for use in these international events, is typically more expensive, and is very safe as well as durable.

All of our coaches are USFCA certified. Some of our members are also associated with the SCA and we’ve even produced NCAA fencers!
