Description
Unleash the Zorro in your child by signing up with the San Francisco Fencers' Club (SFFC), a fencing club started by parents who wanted their kids to practice the sport of fencing in a fun and safe environment. In order for each fencer to reach their full potential, experienced coaches work with each student to develop physical skills and techniques, as well as mental strength.
