Classes and Open Fencing will occur tonight 3/17. The roads in West Asheville are fine but please use your best judgement if you live in an area where there is still icing.
P.S. Wear your green fencing jacket. It’s St. Patrick’s day.
Practice Back to Normal
Classes and Open Fencing will be held as normal today and tomorrow (Tuesday and Wednesday 2/3 and 2/4) Streets near the club are looking very passable.
However we realize that some people in other areas will decide not to make it in for practice. Use your best judgement! If anyone misses a beginner class we will find a way to bring them up to speed at the next class.
No Practice Saturday 1/31/2026
Unfortunately we expect snow for tomorrow and will not have class, open fencing or any lessons for tomorrow, Saturday January 31st. We will resume Saturdays when weather permits, likely next week, and we expect weekday classes to meet as usual this week.
Inclement weather no class or open fencing 1/24
Due to the Ice storm warning, class and open fencing (as well as any lessons) are cancelled for Saturday January 24th 2026.
Stay safe and warm everyone!
Class and Open Fencing cancelled for 12/4

June 14th Final Spring Build Day – Floor
EDIT @330pm: BUILD DAY COMPLETED – Thank you everyone! This went faster than expected.
Our last workday this spring we will install our new floor. Once we’re done this we will open the new club! Please come if you possibly can, even for a couple of hours. This will likely not actually take all the time listed but I wanted everyone to have a chance to come if morning or afternoon works best for them. Pizza or some other lunch will be provided for everyone there around 12:30pm.
When: Saturday June 14th at 10am to 6pm. (if we finish early I will post on discord)
Where: 457B N. Louisiana Asheville NC, 28806 – Extra parking at 441 N Louisiana Plaza, two doors uphill from 457B.
What: Installing rolls of rubber underlayment. Then installing our snap together tile on top of it and then using trim and or shims to fit things together as neatly and tightly as we can.
Things to bring:
Non-alcoholic beverages – there is a fridge if you want them cold
Hammer or Rubber mallet for trim nails.
Carpentry skills to help with the trim if needed
Sharp knife to cut/shape rubber rolls
Carpentry square to help cut straight lines on rolls or tile.
