Yeah, I’ve seen them online. They are quite pricey compared to some other clubs, are they worth the money?

Not sure how to answer that. My kid went there for a few months as an 11 year old. Wasn’t that into it. It the coaches seemed good. Value? I can’t answer. It was clean but I haven’t spent too much time in fencing facilities.

My son has gone for some of the open fencing sessions when they were just starting up…and now gets a discounted rate because he’s part of his high school team. He enjoys going and gets some practice against some really good fencers. The coaches seem pretty high caliber, although my son hasn’t done any individual lessons so can’t really speak to that. Whether the full rate is worth is is really a personal decision. If you’re hoping to get good enough to earn a scholarship to a D1 fencing program some day, then it may be worth it. If you’re just starting out and doing it for fun, maybe not.
