General Information
Fencing is the art of attack and defence with the sword. There are
three different swords that are used in fencing: foil, epeé,
and sabre. In each bout, the fencers attempt to score touches on
eachother with their swords. The first to score 15 touches wins.
The UNC Charlotte Fencing club meets from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM on
Wednesday and Thursday nights on the East court (near the rock
climbing wall) of the SAC.
What do I need to bring to the club?
Very little.... The fencing club has been in existence for a number
of years now and has large number of fencing swords and uniforms
available for the club members to use. It is recommended that
participants wear a tee-shirt and "fencing knickers", loose pants such as sweat
pants, or shorts. Also, the university requires that all participants
in the club provide proof of medical insurance (we need a policy
number and the name of the insurer).
Club dues are $20 per semester. People interested in joining will
not be asked to pay dues until they are certain they wish to join.
Contact Information
The club can be contacted by emailing fencing@uncc.edu. One may
also call Warren Atwater at (704) 281-3634.
