Charlotte Fencing Academy

My teen daughter doesn't enjoy any sport really, but she loves fencing. Each week here has been with knowledgeable instructors that you can tell really love the sport. They are encouraging no matter age /gender and accomplish a lot in small amounts of time! The owner was also accommodating when my daughter had a migraine and allowed her to pop in another session. Great experience all around.

Glad my son enrolled here. Instructor Brian is very patient yet takes a structured fun paced approach in teaching the classical art. As a parent always a privilege to watch.

Colleen and Charlotte Fencing Academy are AMAZING! My 10 year-old daughter is loving her experience there. In addition to learning the art of fencing, Colleen teaches such gems as, "It doesn't matter if you're a girl or a boy, old or young, big or small. Once you put your fencing gear on, no one can tell any of that. All that matters is how you fence. And each person has a special skill or ability that can be used to his/her advantage in the sport." And my second favorite: "Don't worry if you make a mistake. If you do, just fix it. Or better yet, look at that mistake and see if there is some way you can turn it around to your advantage." Lessons for life, indeed!

Coach will travel to out of city tournaments to help his wards. Not often do you see coaches do that. He'll also inspire them to participate in tournaments.

Great coaches, good community of fencers, great club.
