Manhattan Fencing Center

Great community with plenty of skilled coaches and skilled fencers.

My son goes there for 5th year now. We love everything about this fencing center. Great coaches and clean facilities. Especially my son's coach Oleg Brusilovsky not only teach the great skills but also he is a great role model. He is a mentor for fencers and inspire them to develop their fullest potentials.
My son struggled a lot but Oleg always give him time to heal his upset mind(when he lose) and cheer him to go further so he can continue develop his strong skills and motivate to continue.

Coach Oleg Brusilovsky has been my son's coach for five years and he is a fantastic coach. The perfect combination of challenging and encouraging, exacting and kind. A former world champion and highly experienced teacher, Coach Oleg is great with every age and level, from young children to adults, beginners to college teams to national champions.

The club has been a great place for my kids, who find themselves surrounded by highly experienced coaches wbo care and balanced group classes in very well-equipped facilities. In terms of individual lessons, coach Oleg has been truly a positive force both from fencing and overall teaching perspective , and the kids always look forward to their time with him.

Coach Oleg is the best! My son has been working with him for a year through MFC and he has improved immensely from Coach Oleg’s incredible teaching. He is tough but extremely encouraging and empowers my son with the skills to improve every lesson. We could not be happier!

Our daughter has been training with Oleg for 3 years. He is a phenomenal instructor. He cares deeply about his students and works diligently to assess their skills and enhance them.

MFC is stellar in every respect. My daughter has been at MFC for the past 2 years and has grown so much as a fencer, an athlete, and a person. Each coach at MFC is talented, superb and truly cares about the development of each student. In particular, my daughter's coach, Coach Alexander Sourimto, is the coach we always hoped for - passionate, motivating, energized, straightforward and honest, caring, and always pushing her to do better than she did the day before. He has helped instill confidence in her on and off the fencing strip, helping her improve and learn from her mistakes. She looks forward to every practice at MFC and every lesson with Coach Alex. The facilities at MFC are spotless, sanitized and bright; the students are helpful to, and encouraging of, one another; the classes are rigorous; the staff is professional and responsive. Overall, an amazing club!!

As parents of a 10 years old, we were looking for a sport environment that would entertain our daughter, develop her skills but also a place where she could grow up as a person. In Manhattan fencing and Coach Alex Sourimto we have found both. Valentina has been with coach Alex for the past couple of years and he has been fundamental for her growth as a fencer. We cannot thank him enough for the great coaching and for the total support which is extremely important at her age.

Alex sincerely thanks and looking forward to more tournaments together. You are simply the best!
