About The Bayou City Fencing Academy

Since its inception in 1994, the Bayou City Fencing Academy has been driven by two important goals: Promoting the sport of fencing in Houston, Texas and offering an exceptional fencing experience for the recreational and competitive fencer.

Fencing is a modern, fast-paced, Olympic sport which can be described as a mixture of a child's game of tag and an adult game of chess. The sport of fencing develops physical fitness and one's ability to think quickly and act decisively. Fencing is an international sport practiced by people of all ages and abilities. No particular body size or type is required for success in fencing.

The Bayou City Fencing Academy offers the opportunity for beginners to learn about fencing and for advanced fencers to enjoy the sport for purely recreational purposes as well as to train for national and international competitions. Training programs are self-paced and cater to youth (ages 5 - 8), junior (ages 9 - 19) and adult (ages 20 - sky's the limit!) fencers.

Competitive training for the younger fencer concentrates on preparation for local and regional tournaments and on the Junior Olympic Championships, with an emphasis on having fun! Competitive training for the more advanced fencer focuses on preparation for North American Cup Circuit tournaments, National Championships, and international World Cup competitions. Recreational training is geared toward having fun and getting fit.

Training sessions begin with group warm-up, conditioning, footwork, and drills. Fencing continues with bouting sessions between fencers. Private lessons are available at each session for interested individuals, particularly enthusiastic beginners. Lessons are tailored to the skills and experience of each fencer.
