Brief History of UW-Stevens Point Fencing
Fencing was once offered as a course at UW-Stevens Point, but it disappeared a while ago. In the Fall of 2004, the UW-SP Fencing Club was created. Professor Rothfuss, a former student of the UW-SP fencing class, took on the role of advisor and initial coach. Over the years the Club has slowly grown, become more organized, and transitioned to a student-taught system. Starting in the Fall of 2006, we started teaching all three weapons instead of only one – foil. We held our first tournament in the Fall of 2007. In the Spring of 2008, we held our first tournament that included other clubs. Also, Professor Rothfuss retired his position as our advisor and Professor Francis took up the mantle. In the Fall of 2007, we sent our first fencers to a USFA tournament. In the Fall of 2008, this blossomed into a considerably larger group of fencers competing in the USFA - without losing our sense of a recreational fencing club. We have a long ways to go, but have already grown immensely.
