Club HistoryThe Kansas City Fencing Center is dedicated to providing a rich and rewarding life experience to people of the Kansas City metropolitan area through the sport of fencing. Our program has been featured in Sports Illustrated as well as most Kansas City local newspapers, TV, and radio stations. Kansas City Fencing Center (formerly Central Fencing Club) began in 1992 when Vladimir Nazlymov, taught the first fencing classes at Central High School in Kansas City, Missouri. Coach Nazlymov, a three time Olympic Champion from Russia, was successful in helping fencers reach the pinnacle of their sport. Since its beginnings, fencers from KCFC have made their mark by consistently being ranked among the best fencers in the United States. In July of 1999 Coach Nazlymov accepted the position of Head Fencing Coach at Ohio State University. Prior to his departure from KCFC, Maestro Nazlymov selected Kelly Williams as his replacement as Executive Director. Coinciding with Coach Nazlymov's departure from Kansas City the Kansas City Fencing Center was reorganized as a not for profit corporation, managed by a volunteer Board of Directors, elected by the members of the center. Since September of 1999 the Kansas City Fencing Center has been under the direction of Executive Director Williams. Today KCFC continues its tradition of excellence as one of the premiere fencing centers in the United States.
