You can locate links to local organizations by searching with the name of your state and "fencers" or "fencing clubs."

Check out schedules of competitions. The Fencers Club in New York City was founded in 1883 and is the oldest in the United States. This club has information about competitions and results from around the world.
Step 3:
Read about fencing competitions and the stars of the sport. The United States Fencing Association has a magazine that features news about professionals, and it's also available online.
Step 4:
Observe some of the major tournaments. Duel in the Desert in Las Vegas, Linkmeyer at the University of Southern California and The Phoenix Cup in Arizona are three major competitions.
Step 5:
Follow the sponsored fencing professionals. Bayer is one sponsor in Europe.
Step 6:
Look at current standings and results to find names of those outstanding in professional fencing, and read about them. Figure out which competitions they enter, and look for their results.
