Pay a visit to Etna this Saturday (the 25th) for the Open Streets Event! En Garde is joining with other local businesses to show off all the totally awesome things this end of town has to offer.

The club will still be open! So if you're not into fencing with a balloon on your head, you can get your regular practice in upstairs.

See you all Saturday!

Rest in Peace, Coach Murphy

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Coach Charles Murphy.  His impact on the Pittsburgh fencing community over the course of his long career as a fencer and a coach cannot adequately be put into words.  On the opposite end of the strip or on one's own, Coach Murphy represented so much of what our sport teaches and nurtures: discipline, competitive drive, honor, and more.

The coaches and students of En Garde extend our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Coach Murphy's family and friends even as we ourselves join them in mourning his passing.

We invite you to gather with us tomorrow evening, June 6th, starting at 6 p.m. at En Garde Fencing Club, where we will meet in lieu of our regularly scheduled practice to remember Coach Murphy and the great influence he had in all our lives.
