Hey fencing friends! The Grove City College Fencing Club will be hosting a dry tournament on April 8th at 7 PM in the Wolverina. If you would like to attend, you can show up the day of the tournament. So we can have some idea of how many strips we need, it would be great if you could register on our google doc. Hope to see you there. Feel free to come and watch or invite friends and family to watch! https://docs.google.com/document/d/14l17sKc5z0ynuIyuoDGi3GWR2R7PoljMqQAXQFuHP2Q/edit?usp=sharing

Our alumni instructor, Caleb Thrasher, was interviewed for the Humans of Grove City page. He talks about some of the reasons he fences and teaches. Check it out.

"I think that God has been present throughout all of this for me mostly because of the art form that it is. There is no evaluation, no grading, no pass-fail. I’ve tried to use fencing whenever I would teach others to create an environment in here, where they can come from wherever they are and they can be in a place that is freeing in a way. There is nothing here except you and your technique. No one is going to grade you, or evaluate your performance. No one is going to say you won, you lost, you’re good or you’re bad. So I’ve really worked hard to make this a place where people can take a break from our kind of achievement-oriented culture. I see a lot of the same things reflected in other types of worship and for me this has been a kind of ministry, so I think God has used it in that way a lot. Maybe used it in my life just as something that I can do and enjoy, but also something I can share with others."
