The Virginia Academy of Fencing

We welcome you to our 13,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility located just off I-495 in the Annandale/Springfield, Virginia area.

For two decades, VAF has introduced fencing to thousands of children and adults in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

Often called a game of physical chess, fencing is the fastest of the martial arts.

The sport provides an excellent cardiovascular workout.

Fencing provides not only a physical but a tremendous mental workout - it is all about strategy.

The fencer's goal is to hit the opponent on a valid target without being hit.
