About the Victorian Fencing Society

Jonathan Carr: The Victorian Fencing Society was formed in 2011 for the Research, Training and Demonstrations in the fashion of fencing from the nineteenth century. We meet in the Dallas area for monthly practice in nineteenth century fencing techniques at the Fencing Institute of Texas. President and Instructor Jonathan Carr started fencing in 1984 and has been coaching fencing since 1997. Our primary manuals of study come from the Fencing volume of the Badminton library published in 1889 by Walter H. Pollock, F.C. Grove and Camille Prevost, Foil and Sabre by Louis Rondelle published in 1892 in Boston, and Alfred Hutton’s treatise on Saber called Cold Steel published in 1889. The society is open to all individuals interested in studying the history of fencing in the nineteenth century. No experience is necessary. Please contact Jonathan Carr for any questions at the email listed in the contact info. Check out our facebook page for recent activity.
