Fencing Lessons in Monrovia, Near Pasadena
We're a fencing club on Maple Ave in Monrovia, just off the 210 between Pasadena and Arcadia. We teach epee to complete beginners and coach fencers all the way to national competition.Fencing is faster and less choreographed than the movies suggest. It's a full-speed exchange of distance, timing and decisions, and most people are surprised how tiring their first bout is.You don't need experience or equipment to start..
Your first class
You'll warm up, learn footwork, put on a mask and jacket, hold a blade and fence a short bout. Same day.
Wear a long-sleeve shirt, long pants and lace-up athletic shoes. Bring water. We provide the mask, jacket, glove and blade. You need nothing else to try it.
Fencing has one of the lowest injury rates in youth sport. Everyone is fully masked and jacketed, and the blades are blunt and flexible.
I took my 11 years old grandson today for a free trial at the Fortune Fencing. We met coach Emara and coach Ziyad, both are kind and respectful and make teaching fun. All kids are friendly and seem to be enjoying the sports very much. We purchased private lessons package, and purchased the full gear. Can’t wait for the 2nd class. Thank you coach Emara and coach Ziyad.
The coaches here are very professional and work closely with the fencer in the areas need to be improved on. My kid got great improvement just couple weeks training here.

Incredible fencing club, and fantastic fencers/people! We stopped in while visiting LA from Houston, and were welcomed with open arms. Had a ton of fun fencing the guys here, and will definitely visit again if ever in the area. If you are lucky enough to be local to this club, check it out! You won't regret it!
Like any other motor movement , I had my son trained at 7-years-old to fence (from gross movements to fine movements ) — because I desperately needed a sustainable therapy to cure my son’s increasing symptoms of attention-deficit syndromes. Fencing worked! My son had a great line of dedicated coaches and I am grateful to them all. He’s 11 now (pre-teen) and the encouragement is necessary from peers — Fortune has given Ian friendships and Ian’s strip coach (Zeyad) uses the parameters of the sport to train concentration, focus, and patience. The pedagogy of fencing is Fortune’s strength: Coach Emara serves a platform for coaches’ clinics, and Coach Zeyad coached collegiate fencing. The Fortune coaches are educators and fulfill the fencers’ schooling through socio-emotional development and cognitive-behavioral health. My son has had beautiful bonds to all of his coaches in different gyms, but Fortune as a community took us into their home when I became a single-mom.

Mission statement
We coach beginners and national competitors in the same room. A kid who walks in having never held a blade trains in a club where fencers qualify for national events, and that changes what they think is possible.We've been in Monrovia since 2009. Most of our families stay for years.
