    En Garde! Detroit would like to announce the start of our community summer fencing program!

    FREE SUMMER FENCING!

    With the current unemployment rate estimated at close to 30% for Detroit’s denizens. We believe those numbers will adversely effect the ability of families to expose their children to positive summer programming. This is our way of trying to offset the staggering  realities of the unemployment situation.

    Have you heard of the Detroit Metro Sports Commission?

    detroitsportslogoHave you ever wondered how Detroit attracts such large sporting events as the Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four, or MLB All-Star Games? Recently we got a chance to visit the offices of the Detroit Metro Sports Commission and I have to tell you, we were impressed. They are responsible for bringing millions in revenue to the city each year with their highly innovative & cutting edge marketing tactics which presents Detroit as the place to be for sports. I call that a “stimulus package!”

    We are proud to be listed as one of the few recognized sports organizations in the area. They have recently added EGD to their events pages, click here.
