Go ahead, admit it. When you grew up, you wanted to be a pirate. Didn’t we all?

So listen up mateys - the time has come to hoist the skull and crossbones and let the swordplay begin and there’s no better place to realize your swashbuckling fantasy than the Beverly Hills Fencers' Club.

Located at 3639 Eastham Drive in Culver City, the Beverly Hills Fencers’ Club (BHFC) is a fully equipped fencing facility and offers instruction in all three weapon categories: epee, foil and saber.

Youth, junior and adult group lessons are available, taught by top-notch instructors from across the globe, as well as private lessons.
