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.
My daughter went to fortune fencing for 1 year and she loves it
我女兒已去了一年十分喜歡
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!
Fortunately, we found fortune fencing. The two coaches are very professional and patient with students. My son has made progress in every class. Than you! Coaches!
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!
I heard about Fortune Fencing from the radio and wondering if it’s too late for my 13 years old son to start learning fencing. I took my son to try the class anyway . Coach Z is very nice and professional, he told me it was fun and he liked it. Now he moved to the competitive class. I’m glad to see all his efforts and improvements. It has boosted his confidence a lot too. Both Coach Emara and Coach Z are very attentive and professional, they will make sure everyone gets their skills improved based on their level. I’m glad that my son liked this new sport and made big progress. I’m live in city of walnut, but I’m willing to travel a little far to this place as long as my son enjoys it.
Great instructors and lots of fun and fencing. It makes it easy for kids to keep going.

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.
