Our club is our family, and our home away from home. Our coaches, led by Coach Greg Kaidanov, work to create a friendly environment where fencers of all ages and abilities can find success. Coach Greg Kaidanov learned his coaching techniques from working along side of his father, US Fencing Hall of Fame Coach Emik Kaidanov. The 2019 National Championship is the second in Coach Greg's coaching career.
