  • 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!

  • The best fencing club in the San Gabriel Valley! The instruction is world class and the students are exceptional. My boys both started with no experience five years ago and are now competing on a national level. The club has multiple national champions and at least one member on the US team. As an adult beginner, the coaches have been patient and helpful. If you have ever wanted to try fencing for yourself or your kids, give fortune a try!

  • A true gem of the community. Coach Emara has great patience with his students and is also very responsible. A great activity to enhance concentration and develop agility, not to mention it’s also a fun activity/workout.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • If you are looking for a reliable fencing academy, I recommend Fortune Fencing, Monrovia. My child doesn't exercise steadily, but coach Emara and coach Zeyad continue to teach according to the individual tendencies and characteristics of the students.

    We have been attending the Fortune fencing for more than 3 years before and during the COVID-19.

    믿을 만한 펜싱 아카데미를 찾고 있다면 Monrovia에 있는 Fortune Fencing을 추천합니다. 저희 아이는 운동을 꾸준히 하지 않지만, 두분에 코치께서 학생들의 개별 성향과 특성에 맞게 가르켜수셔서 저희는 3년 이상 다니고 있습니다.
