Free beginner classes are a good way to see if this sport is for you or your child. Class was entertaining and educational, with not too much sales pressure for signing up for further classes. Facilities are well taken care of and staff was very helpful. The beginner classes are mostly children/youth, but a sprinkling of adults as well.

My boys love It! We moved here from another state looking for a club that specializes in all 3 weapons epee, foil, and Sabre. This club offers something for everyone from ages 6 to 90!

Experienced coaching staff, excellent facility, and perfect match for fencers from beginners to competitive. Our daughter enrolled shortly after she turned six and we couldn't be happier with Coach Neal and the rest of the staff. Equipment is available for all sizes to borrow during practice.
