Youth Competitive Foil Fencing
Coaches Mike Martin and Yan Dortchenkov are dedicated and driven professionals specializing in foil. Fencing is often described as a game of "physical chess." We'll teach you, not only how to move, but more importantly, WHY to move. Fencing will hone your ability to think tactically and apply good decisions in a fraction of a second. Try a free class and watch the process unfold before you in the very first session.
Start with our Fundamentals class and advance to competitive play by Way of the Sword.
Competitive Program
The Competitive Program is appropriate for experienced fencers with previous formal instruction. New, first time fencers should first consider our Fundamentals group class or private lessons to accelerate their learning.
Students will learn and apply technical, tactical, and strategic skills necessary for winning in the highly competitive and robust sport of olympic fencing. Competitive students will be under the direct supervision of a coach who will give 1:1 private lessons multiple times a month. We recommend 8 to 12 lessons per month. In addition, we have an expectation that every student in this program register and attend USFA tournaments at the regional to national level.
Unlimited competitive group classes are offered four days a week. Coaches want to see students attend as many classes as possible and promote "school and family first," with fencing a close second.
Personal regulation fencing equipment is required.
Competitive membership to the USFA is required at $99 per year paid directly to the USFA.
The competitive program pricing is structured differently to allow families to choose their level of training, be it monthly or annually.
Pricing:
Free one-week trial
All competitive students must become members of the club which costs $600 annually per family.
In addition, there is a monthly subscription payment for group classes and private lesson packages. All monthly subscriptions are recurring payments, but you can pause your payments at anytime.
Unlimited group classes plus four private lessons a month $560.00/MO
Unlimited group classes plus eight private lessons per month $720/MO.
Unlimited group classes plus 12 private lessons per month $880/MO
