About US
PVFA was founded in the summer of 2003. Having taught fencing at various locations in Western Massachusetts and Connecticut, it became increasingly apparent that a centralized location devoted solely to fencing was needed. Thus PVFA was born. Since then the club has grown and moved to 94 Cottage St. in Easthampton.
PVFA now celebrates over 10 years of stabbing our friends (and getting away with it) and our little club is starting to rack up a list of impressive accomplishments. Our fencers have competed in more than a dozen states at competitions ranging from small local events to national championships. We have had students medal at North America Cups and the US National Championships and have earned a Gold at the Pan American Games. We have trained and certified several of our fencers as coaches and have hosted USFCA coaching clinics. We've helped students get into college, including Ivy League schools, and even have had students earn a college fencing scholarships.
PVFA offers classes for Girl Scouts so they can earn their Fencing Interest Project patch.
PVFA has provided swords and has aided in fight choreography for Somers High School and their production of "Peter Pan" as well as Hampshire Regional High School's "Treasure Island."
Over the years we've enjoyed visits from fencers from France, Egypt, England, and Australia!
