Modern fencing is a sport of passion and daring, strategy and action. Fencing’s romance, style, history, and excitement continue to fascinate each new generation. Better still, modern fencing is safe and fun!
Well respected in the community, RIFAC produces competitive and recreational fencers of the highest caliber, including World Cup competitors. In fact, top colleges nationwide often offer RIFAC fencers scholarships to attend their schools and join their fencing teams. RIFAC was recognized by the United States Fencing Association as the 2020 and 2016 Club of Excellence in Youth Development.
We’ve developed a systematic program to teach children, teens, and adults how to fence, including an advanced program and a fantastic facility for the pursuit of the sport.
In fact, many of our fencers started as children and consider fencing a core part of their lives.
We offer courses for all levels and ages.
Fencing is a sport of passion and precision, and for two decades, Rhode Island Fencing Academy owners Alex and Jill Ripa have shared their love and knowledge with thousands of students, some of whom have risen to the highest levels of this perennial Olympic sport.
