About RTF

Professional fencing training in the heart of the Research Triangle.

Our Mission

Research Triangle Fencing exists to grow the sport of fencing in the Durham and Research Triangle area. We believe fencing builds discipline, athleticism, and mental sharpness — and that it should be accessible to everyone, from beginners to aspiring national champions.

Our Story

Founded in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina, RTF has grown into one of the region's premier fencing clubs. We train fencers in all three weapons — foil, épée, and sabre — at every skill level.
