The North Carolina Fencing Development Program ( NCFDP ) was started and directed by UNC (retired) Head Coach, Ron Miller in 1975. Duke University Head Coach, Alex Beguinet, first came to NC and NCFDP from Portland OR, to help with development.. Currently, NCFDP serves a broader fencing development role for beginning through advanced fencers, and reaches fencers primarily in the Triangle area of North Carolina. Its purpose is to provide people of all ages with the opportunity to study and practice fencing. The Program encourages recreational fencing and provides training for serious competitors. Want to learn to fence? NCFDP has individual and group lessons. • for beginning to advanced fencers • for recreational fencers or those who want to fence competitively • for fencers aged 8 to 80 NCFDP staff provides beginning fencers with group instruction in foil and intermediate and advanced fencers with private lessons in any of the three traditional weapons: foil, epee, and sabre. All students may take private lessons if desired, and have the opportunity to free-fence with other youth, collegiate, and adult fencers present during the club hours. There is a $10 floor fee for drop-in open bouting. See 'Club Fees' page. Fencing Club is held for all 3 weapons (foil, epee, and saber) at Fetzer Gym room # 07 on the campus of the University of North Carolina on Tuesday and Thursday nights starting at 7:00 p.m. Club runs from 7 pm to 10 pm during the Fall and Spring semesters and 7 - 9 pm during exams and summer session. The club is closed from the end of summer session II until the beginning of the Fall semester (typically the first three weeks of August). You may free fence, take beginning group lessons on Thursdays, or take private lessons any Tuesday or Thursday evening. We close on the same holidays as UNC. We also adhere to Orange County School weather closings. If schools close, we close. If UNC closes, we close.
