Our Programs
All students participating in any of IFC programs must have the USFA membership. The membership needs to be renewed at the beginning of every season (August 1st). All IFC programs are comprised of partnered drills, footwork, and situational bouting. Each can accommodate all fencers—from novice to national and international competitors.
No refund or rollover to a different term for missed classes, lessons and camps.
Free Trial Class
IFC is more than happy to have you try a class before you sign up, we offer you free trial with no strings attached.
All our programs runs for two months.
Beginners and intermediate:
Tuesdays-Thursdays 5 to 6pm and Saturdays 10 to 11am
Advance fencers:
Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 and Saturdays 11:30 to 1 for foil and saber
All trials have to be scheduled, no more than one total trials per class.
FUN
Because it combines fast-paced physical skill with chess-like strategy, offering instant feedback, constant challenge, and a tight-knit community—all within a safe, elegant sport.
SAFE
Participants wear protective gear (mask, jacket, glove, and plastron) and use flexible, blunted weapons under strict rules and referee oversight that minimize injury risk.
POSITIVE
Doing something while you’re being yelled at is no fun, and that goes against our first rule. We use positive reinforcement to train not just the body, but the mind.
FITNESS
Fencing combines cardiovascular exercise with strength, speed, balance, and coordination. It also helps build agility and quick reflexes while providing a fun and engaging full-body workout.
High-quality, Olympic style fencing training to underserved kids!
The International Fencing Club Foundation is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing underserved children and youth in Boston and surrounding communities with access to the sport of fencing. Through high-quality instruction, mentorship, and a supportive environment, the Foundation helps young people develop confidence, discipline, resilience, and leadership skills.
Participation in sports has been shown to support academic success by improving focus, concentration, time management, and goal-setting abilities. Regular physical activity also promotes better mental health, reduces stress, and encourages teamwork and perseverance—skills that help students succeed both in the classroom and in life. By making fencing accessible to all, the International Fencing Club Foundation empowers youth to reach their full potential academically, physically, and personally.
Your generous support goes to help those students achieve their goals.
