The American Jewish University Fencing Club is a sporting club administered by AJU members for the benefit of the AJU and the wider community. Our mission is to support the university by continuously improving and enriching each AJU Fencing Club participant’s overall experience at The American Jewish University. The club provides a safe, friendly, and supportive environment for members to participate and pursue fencing excellence. One facet of the program is process oriented, in which methods of learning physical skills are taught. The participant will also be taught the emotional, physical, and intellectual discipline which are necessary components of the sport. We will promote personal growth and leadership, and provide the best available resources that allow participants the ability to attain their goals. Furthermore we will strive to maximize individual potential in a safe, accessible environment, while helping to build enduring traditions and creating strong bonds of friendship.
