Five Rings Fencing

Announcement: Wednesday the 7th of December, Fencing will be held in Lawrence instead of Kansas City. Lafayette gym is unavailable to us.


Five Rings is a fencing club supporting fencers of all ages and abilities fencing all three sport weapons, both competitively and recreationally. We also offer instruction in wheelchair, historical, and theatrical fencing. Limited loaner gear is available for beginners.

Memberships are offered by the month. We also offer a family plan as well as special rates for students and staff at Academie Lafayette. (Please contact us for full details.) For local fencers who just want to drop by now and then, we have a $10 a night floor fee for open fencing. If you're traveling through the area and are looking for a chance to fence on the road, let us know and we'd be happy to have you as our guest. If you are interested in joining the club, we encourage you to come by to meet us and see if we're a good fit for your needs.
