and those competitors must maintain a certain ratio of classifications, for the top fencers to be eligible for ratings. Hall of Fame The United States Fencing Hall of Fame (or "U.S. Fencing Association Hall of Fame") is a hall of fame for US fencers and coaches. It is located in the Museum of American Fencing in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was founded as the National Fencing Coaches Association Hall of Fame on February 15, 1963, and was in its early days located at Helms Sports Hall of Fame, founded in 1936 in Los Angeles, California. No one was inducted into the Fencing Hall of Fame during the years 1975–94, due to physical moves and organizational changes, including its takeover by the Amateur Athletic Foundation. Through September 2021, US fencers had won 33 Olympic medals and 38 World Championships medals.
