The original extreme sport of fencing is alive in Rome, Georgia.
In 1998, fencers participating in both competitive and recreational epee and foil founded the Rome Fencing Club.
Today, the club is locally coached, with fencers participating in weekly classes and individual lessons targeted toward the weapon of epee. |

Congratulations to Ben Weaver, and George Pitcock for passing the White Stripe Test! Ben and George are the first to ever pass a test under our new stripe system. They did a wonderful job, and really knew their stuff. If you see them make sure you congratulate them on a job well done!
