I'm noticing the students are exponentially happier. The parents are happier. The entire club is happier. It's a fun bunch. I highly recommend parents to send their kids here for lessons. The coaches are just happier and pleasant people. The thing I notice that separates this club from the rest is that everyone here are pleasant people. There's no socially awkward people, or emotional vampires here. Everyone is pleasant, and respectful here. I'm an adult fencer, and let's face it, adult life and adult responsibilities are just awful. I work 40+ hours a week and I need a place of pleasantness, and peace. I really don't want conflict, or drama. The Fencing Center really is now my place of peace. I'm glad to be part of this community.

We have had an absolutely incredible experience at the Academy of Fencing Masters…read more The coaching staff here is simply amazing. During busy tournament weekends, they do a phenomenal job coordinating strip coaching. Even while juggling multiple events at the same time, they never miss a beat. What I appreciate most is that they take the time to actively mentor the kids both on and off the strip. They are always right there to keep the kids' spirits up whenever they are feeling down after a tough bout. Another huge advantage of AFM is the size and depth of their classes. They have enough fencers in each age group to ensure the kids get to practice against a wide variety of fencing styles. Because of this, every group class feels like a mini competition, which is fantastic for their development, all while the coaches ensure they are still focused on learning and applying targeted techniques. Beyond the exceptional coaching and training environment, the club itself is highly organized and incredibly responsive. Communication is clear, and you never feel left in the dark as a parent. What truly makes AFM special, however, is the welcoming atmosphere. It feels less like just a training facility and more like a tight-knit community. Everyone is incredibly friendly, and both the kids and the parents are building lifelong friendships here. Above all, it is so apparent that the staff genuinely wants their students to succeed and grow as athletes and individuals. You can tell they care deeply about the kids' personal development, rather than just focusing on medal counts. If you are looking for a supportive, organized, and truly dedicated fencing club for your child, I cannot recommend them highly enough!

At the moment they only provide beginner classes for adults but even from these classes my performance and skill has improved significantly thanks to the amazing coaches here. I recently also set up a group event here to bring 5 of my other friends to celebrate me getting married. Coach Olga showed everyone the basics and let us fence our hearts out.
