Victoria, Abilene, Huntsville, Killeen. You're something of a fan/booster for fencing clubs in small towns, aren't cha? John promotes fencing everywhere, not just the major population centers. We should all be supportive of fencing clubs in small towns. It's a good thing!

Actually, with Ft. Hood (literally) in their back yard, Killeen has the potential to become quite an active fencing hot-spot.

Fencers Face OffKilleen Daily HeraldPosted: Sunday, September 15, 2013 4:30 am MARIANNE LIJEWSKIParents watch as their children fence during a Central Texas Fencing Club class Friday evening at the Recreational Center at Harker Heights. Attendees face off in an sabre match during a Central Texas Fencing Club class Friday evening at the Recreational Center at Harker Heights. The group practices with three different swords: foil, epee and sabre. Eleven enthusiasts sharpened their skills with an afternoon of fencing at the Harker Heights Recreation Center. The Central Texas Fencing Club meets every Friday to practice basic footwork, balance movements and the rules of fencing. The sport teaches discipline, respect and good sportsmanship, said Valerie Dudenhoefer, the instructor and a fencer for 16 years. Participants also enjoy the craft. “They bug their parents saying ‘it’s time to go fencing’.” The participants start with the foil, which targets the torso area, the epee, which targets the entire body, and then the sabre, which targets the entire body above the waist. The classes continue every Friday except on holidays from 5 to 6 p.m. The cost is $45 for residents and $50 for nonresidents, and all equipment is provided. Participants must be at least 7 years old. For more information, call the Harker Heights Recreation Center at 254-953-5658.

Thanks for posting about fencing in the Harker Heights/Killeen area. I'm married now and live out in Kempner, Texas, but I teach at a high school in Killeen ISD. I was looking for fencing in the area and it's good to know it exists.
