GET STARTED

There are no prerequisites - anybody can learn how to fence. Fencing is an exciting, fun sport that can be practiced year-round by boys and girls, men and women. Kids can start fencing at age 7. It is a sport for all ages, including adults.

In our Beginner Programs, we group students based on age to ensure an optimal learning environment.

Fencing provides physical and cognitive benefits: it teaches strategic thinking, self-discipline, and responsibility. Physically, it develops coordination, speed, and agility. Fencing truly combines the mind and the body.

It is one of the safest sports. Students wear protective gear and learn safety rules from the very beginning. Coaches monitor and reinforce safe behaviors at all times. 

We provide all equipment for beginners for as long as they are enrolled in that class level. Students pay a fully refundable equipment deposit so they can use a personal set of fencing equipment. Students need to wear sweatpants, a short-sleeved t-shirt, and clean sneakers (which are not worn in the street).

Regular class attendance, diligent class participation, and regular private lessons provide the foundation for becoming successful fencers. Our expert coaches guide each student from the beginner level to the competitive class levels, including elite. Many of our students have been recruited to NCAA college fencing programs.
