WHAT WE DO

Since 2004, Denver Fencing Center has brought the sport of fencing to Coloradans.

Our Mission

The Denver Fencing Center (DFC) is a full-time fencing facility just minutes from downtown Denver, near Santa Fe and Evans. We offer over 30 fencing classes each week for all ages and abilities. As a true fencing center, we train fencers in all three Olympic fencing weapons: foil, épée, and sabre.

Our coaches and staff offer you a top-quality fencing experience. We strive to bring a welcoming, friendly community to all who are interested in modern fencing. We are a welcoming place for all members of the community, including hosting special programming for military veterans, individuals with disabilities, and neurodivergent individuals.

We believe in the concept of “Fencing for All” which is the slogan of our foundation: Denver Fencing Foundation
