A Note about the relationship of
ACFA to the Amarillo College fencing classes:
The Fencing Classes at Amarillo College are part of
the curriculum of the Leisure Studies Department of Amarillo College. While many individual members of Amarillo
College Fencing Association (ACFA) are involved as instructors for the fencing classes and even registered as students, ACFA
is a completely separate organization. ACFA highly encourages all fencers to register for the classes, regardless
of membership in ACFA. The information above has
been taken from the Amarillo College Continuing Education (Leisure Studies) Course Catalog.
