Manhattan Fencing Center

I have been with Manhattan fencing for almost 10 years and they are undoubtedly the best club in the country. Not only did they help me get a full ride into college, they put me on three national teams, giving me the opportunity to represent my country. When I first got to Manhattan fencing I was an out of shape and unmotivated kid, but after a couple of months I found a competitive niche and really thrived. In addition, all the coaches are phenomenal and really care about you. They motivated me and pushed me, boosting my confidence and my desire to win. I would recommend this club to anyone.

Definitely the best choice in New York. Some of the coaches are multiple times Olympic coaches or world champions, so they clearly provide high expertise. You will find yourself in a friendly and yet professional environment in the heart of Manhattan. Fencing is a rapidly improving sport in the US, and MFC is home for many Olympic medalists. The coaches truly care about the children and their improvement. Not only ideal for beginners or professionals, but provides exciting leisure activities for adults as well. As fencing is a highly intellectual sport, before or after work practices are great for physical and mental conditioning as well. I have been a member for 4 years and I can't see such professionalism in any other clubs around. What's more important, kids and adults have a lot of fun during practices.

Manhattan Fencing Center is a great facility with amazing coaches and programs designed to help athletes reach new heights and achieve their goals. I've had a great experience working with Alexander Sourimto (sabre). He's incredibly enthusiastic about his work, and always pushes you to reach your best. Alexander is not only a higher caliber coach, but a great friend also. I am extremely happy to be training at MFC, and couldn't be happier than to have chose Alexander as a coach!!!!!

We looooove Manhattan Fencing Club! My son started last year as a beginner and now we're very excited to continue next year as an intermediate. The club has a very convenient location, great space and a very friendly atmosphere. All coaches are great, they treat students as their own kids. Our main coach is Sergey Isayenko and my son likes taking group and private classes with him. During group classes there is a lot of fencing practice and during private lessons the coach usually explain strategies and work with a student on his/her weaknesses. My son also participated in the winter camp, which was really nice, started with an inspirational speech of the world champion. Actually it's so great that my son can see olympians who also train in the same space!!! It motivates and inspire him a lot!

Our kids have been sabre fencing at Manhattan Fencing Center for over 4 years. The new location on 37th street is convenient, bright, clean, and well ventilated. Classes and coaching are great.

MFC and its coaches are widely recognized for their technique and developing elite fencers. The coaches take a patient and encouraging "long view" when developing young fencers. The office staff is friendly and responsive.

MFC is for those who are serious about fencing, as well as anyone new to the sport. MFC offers private lessons, group classes, camps, and coaching at major competitions. There are classes for all levels and ages. Many of the advanced level fencers participate in open bouting on Friday nights - including college and Olympic-level fencers.

"Fencing powerhouse with top-notch coaches"

We have been members at MFC for over 5 years.
Our coach Sergey Isayenko is a superb coach who is dedicated and committed to making his students strong both physically and mentally.
You know you are at the right place when your kids are training with Olympians!!

Great club for kids to learn fencing. We tried a few and this is where we will be staying! Amazing facility and coaches.

Great for beginners! My wife and I loved it as a fun date.
