Venue Information

Modern Duelists is located in the Triumph Industrial Park at 505 Blue Ball Road, Elkton, MD 21921, just a few minutes off of I-95. On site parking is available both in front of and to the right of the building.

Our 3600 sq.ft. fencing room has five full-size strips (non-grounded), plenty of room for spectators and fencing bags, and a slip-resistant sport court tile floor. Events will run on a maximum of four strips to provide space for referees and a safe run-by area. We have a limited number of chairs, so we recommend fencers bring their own. 

Medals & Awards

Medals will be given to the top four fencers.
