The Olde Town Fencing Gang:
Home of the 2004 National Champion Senior Women's Foil Team

Olde Town is a competitive and recreational club, sponsored by Alexandria RPCA. We've been in Olde Town Alexandria for more than forty years. We are a member club of the United States Fencing Association. We welcome all levels of experience from beginner to serious competitor. Classes for beginners are offered through the Alexandria Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities. The class is taught by competitive members of Olde Town. Come learn the basic principles of the sport and acquire the early stages of footwork, strategy, and technique.

Where to find us

The club meets Wednesdays from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. We fence at Patrick Henry Recreation Center, 4653 Taney Ave., Alexandria, Virginia 22304. The center is off Van Dorn Street, north of Landmark.

We follow the Virginia Department of Health recommendations for recreational sports. Fencing is an indoor sport, and it is not always possible to maintain six feet of distance between fencers. Please read the recommendations before you come to the club.

How to Join

Best way is to drop by and check us out. (No floor fee for visitors.) If you decide to join, talk to Joe Hoffman. Olde Town can be reached by phone at (703) 983-7687 during the day. Ask for Joe. Membership costs $100 for a one-year membership or $30 for 3 months. Everyone fencing at the club must be a member of US Fencing.
