On Sunday, June 25th, 2023, KAFF held its inaugural Bakersfield Walk-&-Roll 2-W Open Tournament. This USFA-sanctioned tournament offered the exciting opportunity for able-bodied fencers to compete along with parafencers in a traditional pools-through-direct-elimination format. When one or both of the fencers in a bout is a parafencer, the bout takes place with both fencers fully seated in wheelchair fencing frames. When both fencers are able-bodied, the bout is conducted on a conventional fencing strip.
KAFF is developing a successful Parafencing program, one of its kind on the West Coast. Our club now has competitive parafencing members, participating in local, national and international competitions. KAFF is proud to host the first tournament of this style in Southern California.
