Northwest Arkansas Fencing Foundation (NWAFF) is dedicated to helping the underserved youth of Northwest Arkansas between the ages of 9 and 18 as well as persons with disabilities through the sport of fencing by focusing on character development and on the ability of our fencers beyond the obvious physical benefits.  We are not simply a sporting program.  Fencing is a sport steeped in traditions of honor and respect. NWAFF strives to enhance this through a positive, highly structured after-school development program that builds self-esteem while teaching positive character traits such as self-discipline, responsibility, respect and dedication.

Northwest Arkansas Fencing Foundation provides persons living with disabilities and our underserved youth with a year round development program that presents the prospect for the athletes to pursue life changing opportunities while teaching significant positive character traits.
