Sports are a great way to improve your fitness and overall health. At Fencing Institute of Texas, we follow the US Olympic/Paralympic Committee's Long-term Athlete Development program to inspire an active and healthy lifestyle  for life.

We host regular competitions and tournaments throughout the year, giving you the chance to compete against other members of our club and community. Whether you're looking for a team sport or an individual event, there's something for everyone at Fencing Institute of Texas. 

• The class fee is $125/month for the first child.  We offer a 15% discount for siblings.  We also offer a 15% discount for children enrolled in both sessions discount is for the second session only).  
• USA Fencing, our national governing body, requires anyone participating in programs at FIT to be a member of the NGB.  You may purchase the Access membership and upgrade it later when your child wants to compete in a Regional or National tournament. Membership is purchased from the USA Fencing website: www.usafencing.org
• Two sessions are currently offered: Mondays 3-4pm and Thursdays 1:30-2:30. We will add additional programs as the need arises.
• The monthly fee includes the use of all FIT equipment and safety gear.  We do not recommend fencers purchase equipment until they know which weapon they want to concentrate on.
• We price our monthly fees based on a 4-week month and do not charge extra for months that have a 5th week.  These are how we give time off for sickness or vacation..
• The club requires a 30-day notice of termination, or you will be charged for that month. This means you are signing up for the current month and the following month.  Generally, students need 6-8 classes before they can make a good decision on whether to continue or not.  If you are not sure your child will fulfill this commitment,  you could sign up for a reduced-fee Introductory Lesson first.  This is $25 and we do these on Saturday afternoon between 1 and 3:30 (online signup is required).
• The class instructors are Fencing Master Yuri Molchan (Olympian) and Fencing Master Yasmany Diaz Hernandez.  There will be times your Coach will be at a tournament.  In this case, there will be a substitute instructor or make-up class.
• Fencing is still a good recruiting tool for top level universities. The pennants on the wall in the parent area are all the schools our students have attended. Be wary of fencing coaches promising you they will get your child a scholarship. There is very little money given to fencers other than the very top level; however, it can help your child stand out to admissions.
