What we're all about.
The Buckeye Fencing Club is continuously branching out to new members, both beginners and those resuming the sport. We offer friendly instruction and all the gear you need to fence for a cheap $20 a quarter. We meet regularly throughout the quarter three (3) days a week for two (2) hours. Members are not required to come for any set amount of time, but we do ask you to come at least once a week, if at all possible.
Our Mission Statement.
Our mission is to support the university by continuously improving each sport club participant’s overall experience at The Ohio State University. We will promote personal growth and leadership, and provide the best available resources that allow participants the ability to attain their goals. Furthermore we will strive to maximize individual potential in a safe, accessible environment, while helping to build enduring traditions and creating strong bonds of friendship.

Tim Malinich
Job Title:
Vice PresidentEmail:
malinich.2@osu.eduBackground:
A maniacal megalomaniac bent on world domination, Tim is a man on a mission. While self-assured in his victory and filled to the brim with confidence, Tim has yet to unveil his grand scheme to anyone at this point, causing some to question his credibility. Those in doubt are quickly dispatched, however, leaving narry a trace.

Treasurer/Website AdminEmail:
paljieg.1@osu.eduBackground:
Sitting sleepily typing thoughts on white. Filling up voids where nothing lived before. A pattern emerges, a song is sung. Brave voices raised, the cursed chains undone. Emerging again from the willow cave. We seek to see and cheer our hero brave.

ArmorerEmail:
haffner.12@osu.eduBackground:
Try hard, do we, to do our level best. Against the odds we push out 'gainst the rest. We push and pull and tug, our line drawn taught. Slipping on slick stone we stumble backward. The game is over, the darkness has come.

Why take just the one when you can take more. Indeed it is just as the game before. Where many fall, one can stand alone; strong. The time upon us, journey on in life.
