I've taken care of a number of fencers locally. Many on their way to Notre Dame (and during their time there) University to fence collegiately. It didn't don on me that there still wasn't a path beyond the collegiate/international competition level. Something new and timely.

The World Fencing League (WFL) will make its global debut in Los Angeles in April 2026, introducing a new era for one of the world’s most enduring ...
