Our Mission
At Escrime d'Acadie, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive community that fosters technical excellence, physical fitness, and mental discipline. Our experienced coaches and trainers provide personalized instruction and guidance to fencers of all ages and skill levels, from beginner to competitive elite.
Our Values
For over a decade, our club has been dedicated to sharing the excitement and elegance of fencing with the Acadiana community. With a diverse membership of 40 fencers and staff, we offer expert training, special summer camps, and even host our own annual Divisional tournament, the "Rudolph Memorial".
At Escrime d'Acadie Sports Club, we provide a welcoming and supportive platform for fencing enthusiasts to come together, have fun, and learn the art of fencing.
Currently we offer an all-ages, mixed (co-ed) group program. As a part of this program each fencer's skill is tracked allowing each fencer a clear and concise understanding of how to progress through the tiers.
Escrime d'Acadie is currently in a state of expansion and growth and we are planning to introduce age-based group programs in near future.
We organize seasonal coaching camps during summer school break, aimed at kids age 12+. These are 6-week programs aimed at showcasing the qualities and benefits of fencing, and they further aid with the integration of the camp attendees into the normal club practice and training programs.
We are currently working on adding an introductory-level fencing program for kids age 6 and above. Please check the website for details in the future, or follow us on Facebook using the link at the bottom of the page.
