“Both of my kids love it here and they can't get enough. They have formed lasting friendships with not just the other kids but coaches Rolando and Sara as well. I loved that when my son first started there was no pressure to compete. When he caught the competitive bug they really helped him develop and tune his skills. Going to regionals has become fun weekend hangouts with the coaches and other families.”

“I highly recommend this place to go if your child isn’t a fan of the martial arts options on 5th ave and not into arts and crafts. It is a great sport to learn, discipline, focus and how to wield a foil :) The instructors are experts fencing and the head coach did make it to the international competitions. They are passionate about sharing the sport with the children and patient but firm with the children as well.…”

I highly recommend this club to everyone.”

“Brooklyn Fencing Center is my second home thanks to the wonderful and supportive staff. In my freshmen year of high school I struggled to transition to the new environment that required confidence. With the help of Rolando (the head coach) I was able to gain that and learn so many more life lessons, meanwhile becoming a stronger competitive fencer. I started off fencing in the beginning of spring and by summer I was…”
