In the more recent past, it is our understanding that there was an active club at Camp Gordon during the Second World War. In the 1970s the Augusta Fencing Club was an active member of the Georgia Division.

In 1986 Dr. Volkmann came to Augusta, and Michael Hennessy graciously allowed him to take over the teaching duties of the club. Ron Colton invited the club to move to the Augusta Ballet School, where classes and lessons were taught for the next fourteen years.

In 2000, Dr. Volkmann retired from college teaching and decided to devote his full energies to the development of a fencing salle. He renovated the downtown site where the club is now housed on the second floor at 134 Ninth Street.

Paul Herin, organizer, coach, and captain of the Yellow Jackets Fencing Club of Georgia Tech, University for the past four years has returned to the area and is now part of our instructional staff.
