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 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.
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
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!
Could not be anymore happy with our experience at fortune fencing. 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.
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.
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!

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.
