Rated 5.0 by Fencing Families
“I really love that fencing club. My two kids are members and are always happy to go and learn with amazing coaches. My 7 year old daughter is practicing with Coach Babacar Keita and my 10 year old son has been with Coach Luka Oboladze for 3+ years and we couldn't be happier.”
“2nd home for my son, who has learned to love this sport from Coach Luka Oboladze. My daughter started recently and made huge progress through weekly lessons with very dedicated Coach Babacar Keita.”
