The club focuses on building athletes through the study of competitive, Olympic-style fencing. The training covers the physical aspects of the sport, such as strength, speed, and conditioning, alongside the strategic thinking required for the mental aspects of the game. In a standard fencing bout, competitors aim to be the first to score 15 touches or to have a higher score when the time limit expires. While some fencers participate in all three weapon events, elite fencers generally focus on mastering one.

The modern sport of fencing is rooted in the ancient art of the duel. Before modern history, swordplay was a fight to the death. Today, fencing is an Olympic sport of competition, concentration, strength, and speed. While fencing is physically challenging, it is often called physical chess because it is a game for the mind, not just the body. While strength and conditioning are important, the winner of a fencing bout is often determined by both physical skill and strategic thinking. Because of this mental training, those who train in fencing are often top achievers in both academics and life. In fact, a recent study of college students revealed that student fencers earned the top collective GPA of any sport in the NCAA. Fencing builds brains.

Fencing is also a metaphor for life. Attack, parry, respond, defeat, retreat, timing, and distance are all skills of life. To learn to fence is to learn to live. The club believes that the study of fencing is about more than sport. It is more than playing with swords. It is not just another after-school activity. Although Olympic fencing builds confidence, athleticism, and the ability to make good decisions under pressure, the club believes fencing is ultimately about character. Competitive fencing brings participants face to face with an important truth: you can never control your opponent, your circumstances, your referee, or your coach. You can only control yourself. To learn to fence is to learn to take responsibility for your own actions. The study of fencing is the study of life.
