We are the University of Minnesota Morris Fencing Club, founded in 1992.
The primary purpose of the UMM Fencing Club is to bring to you the sport of fencing. (Translation: if you want to fence, come to fencing! We will be happy to teach you how to hold a sword... anytime you want to learn!)
We meet two times a week (at least, we like to meet more often) to fence
each other in
saber, foil, and epee. Everyone is welcome; wear clothing you can
move in and we'll provide the protective gear, the sword, and an opponent
or three. Not all at once, of course.
During the year, there are a series of tournaments hosted in
various places in Minnesota. Usually one car full of fencers will
attend, some to compete and others to watch. (Road trips with fencers
can be rather entertaining...) There are different levels of
competition, ranging from casual collegiate competition to fencing
against National Championship and Olympic quality fencers. (We aren't
quite that good, but we go and have a good time anyway.)
We hope to get together and attend the Rennaissance Festival in Shakopee and volunteer our time at the University of Minnesota Fencing Club's Fencing Booth. Most likely we'll hear more about Ren Fest in the spring, so stay tuned. If all else fails, we may just get together and do something fun as a group. carpe diem!
Check out these links/email addresses. More to come...
