Fencing in Mcallen Edinburg? « Thread Started on Mar 30, 2008, 9:49am »
We are moving to Edingurg/Mcallen next fall and have a 12 year old daughter who has been fencing for three years. Are there any clubs or schools in the area that offer fencing for her age? Thank you, Miguel

From the Yahoo Group schlager7 noted:
The Noble Paladins is a fencing (sword-play) club for young people and adults, established in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas in 1999. Fencers learn both foil and saber sword skills. The club also demonstrates historical sword skills at local educational and historical events. If you are interested in joining the club and learning to fence, please contact us. We welcome newcomers to the sport! The Club also welcomes local and national Sponsors. Please contact us if you would like us to come share our skills at local and regional festivals and historical events. The Noble Paladin Fencing Club of the RGV newsgroup is a forum for sharing news about the club and for learning more about this historical and modern sport. What is a Paladin? (from Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary): A. Any knightly or heroic companion. B. Any determined advocate or defender of a noble cause.

Actually, the club mentioned in this thread, the Noble Paladins, is pretty much the only club I am aware of in the Rio Grande Valley. They do not have a website, but do have a Yahoo Group.

For the benefit of those who post here from time to time seeking fencing in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, I have excerpted the following from the Noble Paladins email...
============================================
So, again folks - we start on Tuesday, September 2nd and meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month from 7 PM to 8:15 PM.
And, we look forward to seeing you at Harvey Street Church of Christ located on Harvey Street near 2nd Street in McAllen, Texas. We meet in the large gymnasium building which is behind the Church building.

I did a Google Map of club practice locations in the Gulf Coast Division. I also included two clubs that exist right on the border of our division. One of those, Noble Paladins, is the closest club/group/school I know of to your area.
