Parafencing

Welcome to the most inclusive fencing club in the country!

Parafencing (short for “parallel fencing”) is the competitive version of our sport for athletes of various abilities.

Athletes living with conditions that impact their ability to fence on two feet are invited to try parafencing. Participants do not have to be full-time wheelchair users to participate! Many Parafencers can stand and walk, but participate in Parafencing due to other medical conditions, such as limb loss, difference in leg length, impaired muscle power, spinal injuries, cerebral palsy, and stroke survivor.

Denver Fencing Center offers instruction in all three weapons. We welcome current athletes and complete beginners! Our Parafencing program coach is Haley Guida, a certified Parafencing coach since 2005.
