  • A great place for fencing. Very dedicated coaches and gives detailed corrections to each child. This is a coach with a heart. Pro competition but makes it a point to consider the kids psychological preparedness also.

  • My two boys have been learning fencing for 3 months. We take both private lessons and group classes. The coaches are great and provide feedbacks on how my kids are doing. I love how the different exercises help the kids improve on their skills and reflexes. Highly recommend!

  • my daughter don‘t really like outdoor sports, before i took her to fortune fencing, she refused to try other sports like soccer,softballs,tennis, so i showed her all other sports that she may like, she chose swimming and fencing, after that, i started to search fencing club on yelp, then we chose fortune fencing just by randomly, i took her to a free trial session, she was shy at first, but both coaches are very nice, they were having a regular group lesson that day, but they still came to encourage her to join in during, after their warm up part, she was encouraged and started to join, coach E even asked his assistant to help my daughter individually, that was very helpful to my daughter, she enjoyed her tryout, and we started her fencing journey after that, its almost a year now, her fencing skill had been improved a lot, not shy anymore(the opposite now),she even went to a tournament a few months ago, she told me both of her coaches and others are very nice, they encourage them, motivated them, when you are seating their and watch them, its been a joy, they have their way to let the kids love this sports not just a simply training. we love fortune fencing! 我的女儿在一年前开始尝试击剑运动,在这之前她并不喜欢户外运动,也因为疫情,有两年没有非常多的运动量,去年暑假的时候,我开始问她要不要试试去选一个运动,她选择了游泳和击剑,在开学前,我在yelp搜索附近的击剑俱乐部,出来很多,在综合衡量后,我们选择去fortune fencing试课,试课那天是他们正常的一节团体课,我的女儿开始很害羞,并没有直接加入,而是选择在旁边观看,教练非常好,时不时的会过去跟我女儿说话,试图让她熟悉,在他们结束第一轮的热身运动后,我的女儿说可以去试试,就这样她加入了他们,教练也在开始训练的时候请了他的助教一对一的帮助我女儿练习讲解,这个当时应该是对我女儿能融入起了很大作用,她刚开始因为不了解不熟悉会很紧张,但一对一的方式让她很快就放松,在这里非常非常的感谢教练们。那次试课后,我们就报名了,因为她非常喜欢,到现在我们已经快学了一年了,中间也参加了一次8岁组的比赛,她的这一年变化很大,击剑技术也有肉眼可见的进步,马上可以去下一个级别了,重要的是她依然很喜欢,即使现在每周课增加了,她也依然很期待上课,喜欢才能继续努力,谢谢fortune fencing 和教练们!

The coaching staff knows what they are doing and does their best keeping the students motivated and engaged in the sport of fencing. We’ve been coming for about a year now and will continue to come for many many more years. The coaching staff and the other families who attend are the best. Thank you fortune fencing.

  • We have been members at Fortune Fencing for over 8 years. Our three sons have been training with Coach Emara and Coach Z. They're phenomenal! They are greatly involved, truly love fencing, and enjoy helping all fencers achieve their best. Their students are happy and challenged. Students say that the coaches not only help them improve in fencing, but grow as a person too. I actively see growth in my sons' abilities. I also love the honesty and integrity of this exceptional place. I cannot recommend Fortune Fencing enough!
