About Us

Rain City Fencing Center was founded by Barbara Todd Heiner, Steve Colton and Greg Jones. We opened our doors in May 2000 with Maestro Garik Balayan on board and only a handful of students. Since then we have taught hundreds and hundreds of children to fence through our classes, summer camps and school programs. Our competitive program has also grown, with many Rain City fencers competing on the local, national, and -- occasionally -- international levels.

In our new facility, we will be able to offer more opportunities for kids and adults to learn to fence. By sharing our expertise as well as our love for this sport, we hope to help each fencer reach their goals. While we will continue to focus our efforts on training junior and youth fencers to succeed at the national level, we want to see fencers of all ages and ability levels reach their potential. 

 
New Directions

Our new salle d'armes is located in the Overlake area of Bellevue, approximately one mile east of our old location.  To get there from I-5, I-405, or anywhere west of I-405, take SR 520 east, and take the first exit past the I-405 interchange (124th Avenue NE). Turn left at the bottom of the ramp onto Northup Way. Turn right onto 136th Place NE, between the BMW and Rolls-Royce dealers. Rain City Fencing Center is about 300 yards down on your left.

From Overlake or Redmond, get on NE 20th Street (aka Northup Way) westbound. Turn left onto 136th Place NE. Rain City Fencing Center will be on your left.
