What Our Members Say
Trusted by Fencers & Families Across New York
As a beginner, I was nervous to start, but the coaches at TMFC made me feel completely supported. Every lesson is high-energy and inspiring, and you can tell they care deeply about helping students grow with confidence.
My daughter has been fencing at TMFC for two years and the transformation has been incredible. She's more focused at school, more confident with friends, and she absolutely loves going to practice. Best investment we've made.
The competitive program at TMFC is next level. The coaching staff genuinely knows how to develop athletes — my son went from local events to qualifying for Junior Olympics in under 18 months. Nowhere else like it in the city.
I picked up fencing at 38 thinking it would be a fun workout. Two years later, I've competed in my first tournament and made some of my closest friends here. TMFC has something special — it's not just a gym, it's a community.
Summer camp was an amazing experience for both my kids. They came home every day excited to show us what they learned. The Friday medal ceremonies were such a highlight — they still talk about it months later!
Being coached by an Olympic silver medalist and his hand-picked team is an experience you can't get anywhere else. The technique, the mentality, the culture — Tim and the coaches have built something truly world-class.
