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.

Applications Open for 2021–22 High School All-American Program, All-Academic TeamFencing helps young people think strategically, consider every angle and be quick on their feet.
Because of this fact, most fencers and their families aren’t surprised to see those on-the-strip skills translate to in-the-classroom success — and vice versa. Applications are now open for two annual programs that help recognize outstanding fencers whose talents shine in high school. The USA Fencing High School All-American Program and Absolute Fencing Gear All-Academic Team recognize high school-age fencers who excel in the classroom and on the fencing strip. Applications are now open, and the deadline for each program is May 13, 2022. |
