NEVER FENCED BEFORE? TAKE AN INTRODUCTORY LESSON!

FIT is a non-profit school of fencing offering recreational through Olympic level training in foil, epee, sabre, Parafencing and Historical (Victorian) training. We want you to be sure you are ready to join a beginner class, so if you have never fenced before, we recommend you take a reduced-fee, 30-minute Introductory Lesson with a FIT coach to see if you actually enjoy the exercise.  The Introductory lesson is not for those who have fenced before.


 Intro lessons may be scheduled now or in the future within a 3-month period.  Refunds are not given.  If you are unable to schedule your appointment within 3 months, contact us at info@fenceintexas.org prior to the end of the Intro lesson membership and we can extend the end date. Requests after the Intro lesson membership cancels are non-refundable and not extendable.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION - At FIT we believe a successful athlete sets goals for themselves. In order to create the premier fencing club of North Texas, we developed some goals.

  • Develop, provide, improve and maintain tools and resources to support an effective competitive and recreational fencing sport system 


MISSION –  Our mission is to provide quality instruction in fencing and life skills that prepare our athletes to be effective contributors to their communities, schools and professional lives.  


PURPOSE – To be the premier provider of instruction in the art of fencing at all levels, in all weapons while providing an unsurpassed standard of excellence in teaching able-bodied and Paralympic children and adults. To deliver consistent and professional instruction to all students from child to adult in every class, every day so that they may realize their maximum potential in this sport and in life.


VISION –  To be known as the sport’s leader in providing quality instruction and consistently delivering outstanding student service to the students we serve. 


CORE VALUES –   

1. Treat every person the way you want to be treated. 

2. Extend grace to those who are willing to try to excel.

3. Seek first to understand others before trying to be understood.

4. Choose relationships over profits and or tournament results.
