About Us

As a member of the Unites States Fencing Association (USFA), the International Fencing Club (IFC) is one of the premier fencing clubs in New England. The mission of IFC is to provide students with the highest quality fencing instruction available, in a safe, well-supervised, and positive learning environment. Our coaching staff is hand-picked and is required to be USFA certified. Coaches are trained to provide individualized lesson plans for students of varying competence. Individual attention is a key feature of each lesson. The IFC prides itself on maintaining a close community atmosphere for all its students and their families.

Our Mission

The IFC is based on the following two concepts: positive attitude, and setting high goals. The president and general manager of IFC, Cesar Morales, holds a degree in Physical Education from Teachers Simon Bolivar (University) in Havanna, Cuba. Cesar works individually with each fencer, helping them to achieve their personal and athletic goals. However, he is committed to teaching more than fencing. Cesar takes his responsibility as a role model seriously by teaching his students the importance of strong character, leadership, and good values.[/ut_one_half_last]

FUN

Remember sword fighting as a kid? This is even better! Its more fun, and you learn some amazing values and life goals, and get great exercise at the same time.

[/ut_one_third] [ut_one_third effect=”slideInDown”]

SAFE

From safety body gear & marked sword tips, to supervision by experienced instructors, we will make sure you or your child stays safe while fencing at our club.

[/ut_one_third] [ut_one_third_last effect=”slideInRight”]

POSITIVE

Doing something while you’re being yelled at is no fun, and that goes against our first rule. We use positive reinforcement to train not just the body but the mind.

[/ut_one_third_last]

Sport for ALL Foundation is an IRS recognized 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to providing high quality Olympic style fencing training to underserved kids from Boston and surrounding neighborhood areas. Your generous support goes to help those who need the extra boost to take lessons, register for and travel to tournaments, as well as to provide their equipment and uniform requirements for competitions.

We are in our first year, but our president and owner of the International Fencing Club Cesar Morales has been doing this work for many years teaching fencing to students from Dorchester, Mattapan and Roslindale.  Some of those students fence at NCAA schools like Brandeis University and Brown University.
