ABOUT US
DEDICATED TO TEACHING THE MODERN SPORT OF FENCING
The Vision
FENCING FOR ALL
The West Berkeley Fencing Club provides the Bay Area with a high quality, community-focused environment for fencers of all levels. With a management and staff of experienced competitors and certified coaches, the club offers beginner and experienced fencers an opportunity to fence, train and learn.
Founded in 2012, the Club is a private company with a public purpose: We are dedicated to teaching the modern sport of fencing, especially as it has developed here on the West Coast.
Founder, Mark Headley had a vision for a functional and beautiful club for adults and children to gather and learn. The space was completely renovated to provide a welcoming environment for fencing along with cultural and community events.
The Space
ALL THE AMENITIES
The club features 5 full-length fencing strips on a compressed bamboo floor that feels great under the feet.
There is an open loft with a variety of fitness equipment to help you get ready to fence or stretch out when you’ve finished for the evening.
Visitors & family are welcome in our entry lounge where you can view a stream of fencing competitions from around the world, browse our library or simply catch up on some work. Our accessible restrooms include changing areas and private showers.
In addition to all the amenities for athletes, we are also home to the West Coast Fencing Archive, which houses many treasures including stories, images, documents, and media about fencers, masters, coaches, clubs and tournaments.
