Our Facility

A dedicated space designed for fencers of all levels, nestled in a peaceful wooded setting.

Our Journey Home

The search for a permanent home for Salle D'Armes Bosco took a long time.

At first, leasing was an option. As you might expect, the best locations in the city were too expensive. The affordable places were in bad sections or in factory areas. These places were also run down.

The choice was to either charge high fees (and only get affluent students) or move to a more rural area. We chose to move outside of the main city of Huntsville, AL.

Our salle is located on a 1.6 acre wooded lot, in Toney, AL, across the street from farm land.

We have plenty of parking and a peaceful environment that allows our fencers to focus on their training.

Our peaceful wooded location provides the perfect setting for focused training
