At the time it opened, as well as today, BFC is the largest fencing club in the Baltimore area. In October of 2003, Baltimore Fencing Center expanded the Timonium location adding in more fencing space as well as several new amenities.
In January 2007, Baltimore Fencing Center expanded into Columbia with the purchase of the Slayton Fencing Club. Slayton Fencing Club, run by Jamie Met and Kerry Swick out of the Wilde Lake community center had been providing fencing instruction to the Columbia area since 1999.
