The Parkway Fencing Club has been around
for 35 years and is the largest fencing club in the St. Louis area.
Parkway Fencing Club has over 60 members of all ages, at all levels and in all
three weapons. Some compete just for fun, but most like seeing how
far their skill will take them.
The Club meets twice a week, with regularly scheduled beginner's classes, group warm-up and drills and open bouting for experienced fencers. Private lessons are also available by request. Click on "Schedule" for more details.
