Best Fencing Value in Northern Illinois

The Illinois Fencers Club promotes and teaches the Olympic sport of fencing to students of all ages and skill levels and provides a friendly venue for members to practice their sport. It is a member operated non-for-profit sports association  that has been serving beginning, recreational, and competitive fencers for more than 40 years.

We offer affordable classes with high quality instruction for kids, youth, and adults in several skill levels and offer three clinics for advanced competitive fencers.

Our youth program provides athlete centered fencing instruction that teaches self-discipline and sportsmanship and fosters athletic, academic, and personal success. Learn More
