Manhattan Fencing Center's coaches, under the leadership of Olympic Sabre Coach Yury Gelman, teach both beginners and experienced fencers (in sabre, foil, and epee) and help them realize their full potential. Most students eventually compete in regional, national, or international competitions.

The facilities include a specially designed fencing floor to safeguard knees and ankles. The club is air conditioned, and equipped with 14 electric strips, targets, locker rooms, and showers.

Winter and summer camp programs are offered as well. Kids can begin fencing camp at age seven. All equipment is included. Camp is taught by Olympians and Olympic coaches and is offered every week during summer from the beginning of July until the end of August.

Once you come here, no other place will be good enough. The other parents, office ladies and coaches are all wonderful. It's a pleasure to bring my son here! This club offers the best fencing classes and fencing lessons to children and really gets them interested in the sport.

It's a pleasure to take my son to classes and lessons at a place like this. The other parents are all wonderful and helpful. The ladies who work in the office are absolutely amazing and help you with every little detail. You will get spoiled at Manhattan Fencing and won't be able to go anywhere else.

This is an excellent place to fence! The center is well located and they offer a variety of classes for different levels. The coaches are amazing!!! Some of them were Olympians and they really know how to make your fencing experience the most enjoyable. I definitely recommend, it is a lot of fun!

Great coaches and brand new facility. NYCMOM, you must have gotten a subsitute coach because I've never seen or heard anything like this at this center. All coaches are amazing and pay extra attention to all kids.

The facility and instructors are the best we have seen yet and we visited all the fencing clubs in NYC. Great for birthdays and camps. We have found the club for our child.

Good if you have a good coach. My son fences here and has had great coaches--until now. He is in a class with a young woman who rolls her eyes, told one kid she would kick him out if he didn't start paying better attention, and is constantly looking at the clock. One parent I talked to even complained to the center about this teacher. So long story short: A great experience if you have the right teacher.

This is a wonderful facility, lead by a team of superb coaches who have a dream and a vision of excellence for the program and the athletes. Beginners and elite athletes alike are treated with respect and encouraged to strive for their own personal goals. We are proud to be part of this wonderful program.
