OUR CLUB PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE:

ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS, RESPECT THOSE WHO ARE THERE TO HELP YOU AND THE   COURAGE TO TAKE THE CHANCE.


HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT FCA

We began as a club of about five people and a great coach in 2002. As a life long sport we look to reach out to all age groups encouraging people to get out and get active. To this end our goal is to develop an environment were fencing is the focus and fun is the vehicle. We do that through recruitment of coaches who embody those characteristics. We teach our fencers, that regardless of whether they take fencing as a fun sport or become competitive, fencing's basic principals and discipline will serve both on and off the strip. Our coaches are professionals in the community and bring collectively 60+ years of fencing and coaching experience.

FCA COACHES

Wayne

 

Wayne Johnson, FCA Head Coach, brings over 40 years of fencing experience as well as coaching beginning to elite athletes. His coaching experience aside, he was also selected for two Olympic teams. He is an invaluable resource on the strip as future Olympic fencers look to him for competitive guidance.

Virginia

 

Starting her fencing career in college, Virginia's passion for the sport makes her an asset to the FCA coaching staff. Her excellent rapport with all students creates a fun and engaging environment where students learn the intensity of this sport with a light and fun attitude. She epitomizes the culture of respect that is inherent in the deep history of fencing. She currently teaches foil & saber, however she does claim a fondness for epee.

Dennis

Dennis Christensen started fencing in high school where they only fenced foil. After college, a family and a lengthy time with sprint dog mushing, he finally came back to the sport with his son Peter in tow. He brings years as the coach of the Jr. mushing teams which is what makes him a great disciplined instructor. When he first came to FCA his obvious classical training made him a very difficult foil fencer, we made the mistake of introducing him to saber and now he has become the official FCA Saber Coach along with Virginia.
