Thanks for an Awesome Season!
We would like to take a moment to express our thanks and gratitude for your support. Summer Nationals & the July NAC brought an end to the 2012-2013 United States Fencing Association's competitive year. When we were fencing out of a recreational center, we only dreamed of sending representatives to Nationals and the NAC.
After moving into our own facility, months of conditioning, classes, individual lessons,  and tournaments, eight fencers went to Columbus, Ohio to compete under the NAFC banner! Fencers Trevor Porter, Joe Gonzalez, Tony Vernachio, Duncan Bohannon, Michael Shinholster, Connor McGurk, Gina Knox, and Phoenix Williams
fenced hard and represented NAFC well! We are extremely proud of the time, effort, and dedication our fencers put into this sport. We are proud to be your coaches and that NAFC is your home gym!
We look forward to 2014 Summer Nationals!

Columbus From A Fencer's Perspective
