Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Fencing Institute of Texas opened their doors in October 1998. However, many of the members had been involved as a club for 10 years prior to that, or more.
What is your primary product or service?
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that teaches Olympic sport fencing to anyone 6 years or older who wants to learn. Our fine staff of internationally trained staff teach all three weapons: foil, epee and sabre. We are also the only Paralympic Sport Club teaching Adaptive and Wheelchair Fencing.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
The Board of Directors decided to form when our original coach was selected to be the Head Coach of the Air Force Academy. We decided to build an organization that would recruit and maintain a staff of qualified, trained coaches. We also see a need for adaptive and wheelchair fencing training to train youth and adults for the Paralympic Games.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are the only non-profit training facility for Olympic and Paralympic Fencing in the Metroplex. Our coaching staff are certified instructors, many of whom have bachelors or masters degrees in sports with sport psychology and sport medicine. Our staff are dedicated to the development of the student within the sport, whether the student desires to be a recreational fencer or an international competitor.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Fencing Institute of Texas has one main location in Carrollton. We provide coaching to various school programs and satellite areas in the Metroplex.

Which areas do you service?
Our students come from the entire Metroplex including Flower Mound, Denton, Garland, Rowlett, all of Dallas and Fort Worth, the Hurst-Euless-Bedford areas, Arlington, Burleson, and even as far away as Waco.
