Fencing For All 
It's not just our web name...   it's our motto.
Fencers of all ages and levels of skill are welcome.
Our current membership is comprised of
fencers of all ages.
Capital District Fencing School (CDFS) was founded on April 1, 2005, by Coach L. Mark Dolata with the basic premise of "Fencing For All". One of the truly phenomenal aspects of  fencing is that it attracts both male and female participants of  all ages and all walks of life.

Our objective is to popularize fencing at the grassroots level by providing individual and group instruction for both the recreational and competitive fencer.
 

Our club has an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. Top quality instruction is available in a group setting, through private lessons, or a combination of both.
CDFS sponsors training camps throughout the fencing season with guest instructors from outside clubs. These camps are intended to strengthen the abilities of all our fencers, and to prepare our competitive fencers for upcoming tournaments.
