Fencing
The University of West Florida Fencing Club
Renaissance Style Fencing
Salle McAfee
Period style fencing is taught by Douglas Rusinsko who was taught by the former club instructor, Ron McAfee, who was killed in a car accident (Jan. 2005.) We study rapier as it was in the Renaissance era with shlager and other replica blades rather than standard 3 modern weapons (foil, epee, and sabre).
We emphasize chivalry, honor, and camaraderie
No prior experience is required, basic lessons are given. The club is open to all UWF students.
