I am reviewing this fencing establishment purely as a spectator. This is Cal's fencing club, and it is pretty impressive. There are two floors, a waiting area in the front, and free wireless internet. The coaches I've met are pretty friendly, as are the fencers who practice there. Parking can be a pain, but that's expected in SF.

This is where I go for a great workout and to blow off some steam. There's nothing better than grabbing a sword and stabbing someone to make you forget about the work day. Seriously, Halberstadt Fencers' Club is the place to learn the sport of fencing in San Francisco. They have group classes, private lessons, open bout nights, and even equipment for newbies. The club was founded in 1942 and is a prestigious name in American fencing. The members and coaches are really easy going despite all the hacking and stabbing. ;-)
If you want to try your hand at this fast paced sport, Halberstadt is a great place to explore your hidden swashbuckler. So choose your weapon...
