Welcome to Michigan Fencing
This is the web home for competitive fencing in the state of
Michigan.As always with web sites, we are constantly under construction and may
change frequently.The archives for the 2000-2001 season can be viewed by clicking here.
If you are looking for a club to fence with here in Michigan,
check our club page for the club nearest you.
To compete in any USFA Michigan Division tournament, you are required to
be a member of the USFA. You may register with the USFA at most events.
You can also register on-line.
Click on the host of each tournament for directions to the venue and contact information
for that club.
ATTENTION:As you all know this is the start to a new year of
fencing.......I must remind you that if you do not have your USFA card yet and
you sent in your membership you MUST still show a receipt or fax
confirmation showing that you paid!!!!!If you are not a member yet then you
must sign up before you fence.If you do not have this with you, then you MUST
fill out a new membership form and leave a check or credit card number
until it is verified that you are a member.If you choose not to do this then
you will not fence.I canít stress this enough!WE MUST HAVE PROOF OF
MEMBERSHIPBEFORE YOU FENCE.If there is no proof then you wonít
fence.PERIOD.
