Penta Olympic Fencing Club

This fencing club is great and highly recommended. The instructors are passionate, helpful and kind. The atmosphere is just the right amount of competitive and collegial. Age groups mix easily during «competitive» sessions, as students learn quickly at the hands of the coaches.

This is a great fencing club. I’m 50 years old and had serious reservation about starting fencing at this age. However, you work up a sweat running up and down the mat and parring and jabbing at your opponent. It’s a great way to work out without the boredom of running stationary in a gym.
Basically, you will spend the first half of the class stretching out and learning basic moves, such as stance, forward and backward footwork as well as attack and defense. The later half is spend picking up «games» (bouts) with other fencers. Thus, you get to immediately try out the lessons you learned. You can just about try to fence with anyone (and in fact is encouraged): young or old, short or tall, experience or not, it doesn’t matter since each one brings their own nuances to the game. It really is a mind game as well as physical fencing techniques. Once hooked, you keep thinking about the next lesson and how you plan to «beat» the opponent (in a friendly way, of course). There are more kids than adults at this time, so I think bringing your children to fence would be no problem in terms of finding a suitable partner to bout.
The three coaches are top notch and very friendly. They try to make fencing more fun than a grueling workout. Give it a try.

This fencing club is fantastic. My son (9) has been coming her for over four months and has made excellent progress and is have great fun. The facility is top notch and the one on one training he receives is absolutely amazing.
I join him on the weekends for free bouting as well. This is one of the best times we have each week and one my son looks forward to each day. I recommend everyone give this club a try at least once. you won’t regret it.

This is a great fencing club. Newly opened and a good location. Coach Lee is very passionate and has a lot of coaching experience. My son loves here.
