George Schleh
Recreational Fencing of Manassas
703-330-9028

George Schleh is an instructor at Recreational Fencing of Manassas, which has been in existance since the 1980s.  Founded by four IBM employees, it started as a club of fencers who hadn't been in the sport for many years.  Over the years, membership has expanded and contracted as we moved from location to location, always in Manassas, trying to find a permanent home. 
 
Now, co-located with Team Ruthless, we are a group ranging in ages from pre-teen to the 60s.  Some of our members compete in USFA tournaments sanctioned by the Virginia, Maryland, and Capitol divisions.  Younger members also compete in the Virginia High School (and Jr High) Fencing League. 
 
Visitors (non-fencers too) are always welcome, and lessons for beginners are available.
