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.
Our children have had great experiences training at TMFC East Side. The coaches are knowledgeable, dedicated, and supportive. The club provides strong training, a positive environment, and great opportunities for fencers to improve. We highly recommend TMFC East Side.
Excellent place for kids to learn fencing. The facility is bright and spacious and the staff very helpful and welcoming. Tim is friendly and great with children. My daughter looks forward to every class… I highly recommend!
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.
Excellent facility, amazing coaches, and a great environment for students to learn and grow. I am truly grateful to have found such a supportive and inspiring place for my son to develop his skills and confidence.
My son has been attending Tim Morehouse Westchester for years. Couldn't be happier! There is truly a team spirit here. It felt like a big family when attending tournaments. All coaches are nice and professional. And their training delivers good results! Highly recommended!
