Xcel Fencing

Xcel Fencing is the first fencing club with multiple locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles, specializing in fencing classes and fencing lessons for kids and adults. We provide training programs at our locations in San Francisco, San Carlos (Peninsula), and San Jose (Silicon Valley) in Northern California, and Burbank in Southern California. We offer After School Fencing Programs and Adult Fencing / Fitness Programs providing a unique way for kids and adults to exercise; improve their health and overall physical fitness level, while enhancing their self-esteem, confidence, focus, creative and analytical thinking abilities. Whether seeking a fun-filled, recreational youth or adult fencing and fitness experience or dream of achieving excellence as a top world level competitor, Xcel Fencing has a training program and system designed to help students achieve their goals. Our Head Coach, Al Carter, earned his first international medal and position on his first world team in just a year and a half (on his way to becoming a top ranked world competitor). Since the new millennium, the United States has become one of the strongest nations in world fencing competition, and he has been honored as one of the greatest coaches in U.S. Fencing History (by the Museum of American Fencing).
