Wanglei International Fencing Club

Specialties

Wang Lei International Fencing Club (WLFC) was founded by Wang Lei - China's first men's fencing olympic medalist. Wang Lei won the Silver medal at the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics. He also won the Gold Medal in the 2006 Turin World Fencing Championship. Wang Lei shared and promoted his love of fencing by establishing his first fencing club in 2013 in the Jing'an District of Shanghai, China - a major business and commercial hub with streets lined with Louis Vuitton retailers and the like. The Jing'an club attracted many fencing aficionados and eventually was too small. In 2016, two other locations were set up to meet the growing need of the fencing community in Shanghai: one along the famous Huangpu River and the other in the Biyun International Community in Pudong. By holding numerous national and international competitions, in three short years WLFC gained recognition from many national fencing clubs and the Chinese Association of Fencing.
