DHFA IS COMMITTED TO BEING AN INCLUSIVE SPACE

We believe that everyone deserves to fence, and that the best way to take up that journey is with a diverse group of people who support you. As long as you are willing to accept and respect those around you who may be different from you, you are welcome at DHFA.

DHFA is humbled to be an inclusive space for all women, the LGBTQ+ community, and all black, indigenous and fencers of color who may need a space of kindness and support.

We are devoted to the cause of treating all human beings equitably, kindly, and fairly—not just within the walls of our organization, but in the historical fencing community and elsewhere in our own lives.

If you are neurodiverse, you are home.

If you’ve always felt you spoke a different language than anyone else, or didn’t know if you’d fit in, you do here. We have a proudly neurodiverse leadership and founding members.

We understand your struggles - everyone at DHFA, from autistic to allistic, speaks with kindness and clarity with one another. You aren’t just welcome—you are embraced.
