We have a true passion for fencing.
The Point Fencing Club & School staff facilities our classes and local competitions.
Leadership Team
Martin Bohn
Board President
Martin wished he had started fencing as a Cavalier, but instead he began his “fencing career” as a Veteran. He joined the Point Fencing Club in 2006 and developed into a competitive foil and epee fencer. Martin competes regionally and nationally and is ranked in both weapons.
Michael Vitoux
Board Treasurer and Club Founder
Michael is the Founder of The Point Fencing Club & School, and currently serves as Board Vice President and Treasurer. He was on the 1966 Illinois Big Ten Championship team and competed in Epee for the 1968 Illinois Big Ten Championship team. Michael has competed at the state, national and international levels for the past 30 years, and is a rated fencer in Foil and Epee--and competes in sabre as well. Michael teaches the Beginners Plus classes which support continuing students who have taken the beginning foil class at The Point.
