We are well into the swing of things and are happy to report that our first tournament of the year, Wacky Wednesday epee, went well and we were able to give out some new ratings. Congratulations to those who competed! Join us Wednesday 9/22 for saber, and Wednesday 9/29 for foil. We had a great turnout this week and expect the same from the next two events!
Happy Labor Day weekend! Please note that we WILL be open for classes and open fencing as usual on Saturday, Sept. 4, and Sunday, Sept. 5. LFC will be CLOSED on Monday, Sept. 6. See you back at club on the 7th!. In accordance with the new DHMs enacted by Lancaster County earlier this week, LFC is revising its mask policy.

The sport of fencing is fast and athletic, a far cry from the choreographed bouts you see on film or on the stage.
Instead of swinging from a chandelier or leaping from balconies, you will see two fencers performing an intense dance on a six-feet-by-forty-feet strip.
The movement is so fast the touches are scored electrically-more like Star Wars than Errol Flynn.
Foil, pe, and saber are the three weapons used in the sport of fencing.
While it is not unusual for fencers to compete in all three events, they generally choose to develop their skills in one weapon.

Lincoln Fencing Club would like to thank Joba Chamberlain's Dream 62 Foundation for making the new Joba Chamberlain Lincoln Wheelchair Fencing Program possible.
Thanks to the Dream 62 Foundation's support, we have already acquired the necessary equipment and renovated to provide an accessible restroom.
LFC aims to provide a safe, family-centered, personally challenging fencing program, and thanks to Joba and his foundation, we are excited to have the opportunity to expand this mission to include athletes with limited mobility.

We take safety very seriously.
While the sport originated from honor duels to the death, we have moved very far away from that.
Our weapons are not sharp, and the tips are designed to register a score on a machine, not to puncture an opponent.
All fencers must wear a fencing mask designed to protect the head and face from injury.
Women fencers wear a plastic chest protector beneath their fencing jacket.
The jackets themselves are designed to withstand punctures.
That is stage combat.
Every move is carefully choreographed and rehearsed.
