The Fencers Club in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, is the oldest fencing club in the Western Hemisphere.[1] It is a member of the Metropolitan Division of the U.S. Fencing Association. Established in 1883, it has evolved into a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit fencing organization dedicated to fencing and community service. It has produced a number of national champions and Olympians.

The Fencers Club includes 22 full-length metal grounded training strips with electronic scoring equipment, as well as an in-house pro shop and armory.

History

The Fencers Club was founded in 1883 by Charles de Kay and other New Yorkers.[2][3][4] One had to be in the Social Register to be a member.[5] Its first fencing master was Captain Hippolyte Nicolas, a French officer who had fought in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, who was partial to the Italian school of fencing.[6][3]

In 1892 it had about 200 members.[7] In 1902 annual dues at the club were $30 ($1,120 in current dollar terms).[8] In 1914, one third of its members were women.[4] Rene Pinchart, a Belgian sergeant major in World War I, was fencing master at the club from 1927 to 1955.[9] French-American Michel Alaux was fencing master of the club from 1956 until 1974.[10]

It is the birthplace, in 1991, and home of the Peter Westbrook Foundation.[11] In 2012, the Fencers Club became only the ninth organization to be recognized by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) as a Community Olympic Development Program (CODP), for its innovative and world-class programs that embody the Olympic ideals.[12]

In 2020, the Fencers Club fired a fencing coach after he made racist remarks.[13][14]
