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 requires all ACFA fencers to register for the appropriate AC
Fencing Class. The information above has been taken from
the Amarillo College Continuing Education (Leisure Studies) Course Catalog.
