History

Established in 2008.

Lincoln Square Fencing was formally established as a member club of USA Fencing in 2008. The head coach and owner, Clinton Smith, made the transition to a full-​time coach in early 2013 and has focused on reorganizing the program to have a long-​term outlook.

We organize the club into a variety of classes depending the age and goals of the student, and work with each student to make sure that their goals are being met and they are pushed further than they thought possible.

With this in mind, many of our students have recently achieved several of their own goals and some are starting to think about long-​term goals (5 or more years) to include National and International success.
