Welcome to Mensa 76

Mensa 76 is the official branch of American Mensa for Fort Worth, Texas and the surrounding area (almost all parts of Texas with zip codes starting with "76"). Here is a map of Mensa 76's coverage.

Mensa 76 hosts a variety of events to encourage social connections with other Mensans and help stimulate the minds of our members. Non-members are welcome to attend events to meet local Mensans, learn what Mensa is about, and get a feel for the local chapter before joining.

Monthly Events

The second Monday of each month we meet from 7pm to 9pm at the Coors' Hospitality Room for FREE BEER, free food (typically a light snack), a lively crowd of Mensans, and a main event (usually a speaker). A map to Coors is available below.

April's Speaker - Benjamin Morgan

Does renaissance sword fighting in the movies and pop culture have any resemblance to how knights and warriors actually fought? What and how did European swordsmen learn their art? How is the tradition of European swordsmanship carried on today? Join us for the May meeting to hear Benjamin Morgan answer these and other questions concerning western martial arts and swordsmanship. Mr. Morgan has been a practitioner of martial arts most of his life, most recently with a focus on European martial arts. He leads the Denton chapter of the Association for Renaissance Martial Arts (ARMA) and will give a brief overview of the history of ARMA, its credo, an introduction to fight books of some European sword masters, a demonstration of sword and footwork techniques, and talk to some common myths around renaissance combat that are perpetuated by movies and pop culture. When he is not studying swordsmanship, Mr. Morgan is a probation officer for Dallas County in the Family Violence Division and spends quality time with his wife.
