Olympia Fencing Center

Mr. Daniel Hondor’s fencing classes are great. The groups are small; instructors are really enthusiastic and they give a lot of individual attention. The price is right on too, I recommend them.

As I sit here at my daughters swim meet I feel compelled to write a review for OFC. My daughter does both swimming and fencing but has had two totally different experiences with both of these sports. She absolutely loves fencing. OFC does an incredible job of making every student feel welcome and as if they are an important member of the club. Whether you are a beginner or a competitive fencer you get an excellent amount of attention. In some sports/​clubs there is a very obvious feeling that the only students that matter are the ones who win competitions. This is not the feeling at OFC. Daniel and all of the other coaches pay excellent attention to all students. Aside from the lessons they focus on teaching all club members to respect each other and everyone in the club. The older students treat the younger students well and they mentor the newer students. If you are looking for a club with good teaching and where they focus on the important values of respect and camaraderie then check out OFC.

My son has been fencing with coach Daniel Hondor for about 7 years and when Daniel opened his own club — we were thrilled. Within months, Olympia has become everything we had hoped: the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, Daniel and Mark Elbag are excellent coaches for ALL levels, the club is big enough to support tournaments, and in general this is exactly the type of club you’d want! All levels of fencers are welcomed and encouraged (don’t be afraid to try this sport!) — and whether you are an adult trying this for the first time, or a parent looking for a sport that will challenge your child’s mind and body — Olympia is worth looking in to.

Olympia fencing center is a very unique & amazing fencing club! It has a warm and family like atmosphere. Everyone who walks through their doors feels welcomed. Both my daughters fence there & they call it their home away from home. They’re are no bullies among the kids & everyone feels safe. It’s an extended family. The owner & coach, Daniel Hondor is an excellent coach with the kids. He is very supportive & pushes them to do their best!
