Marx Fencing Academy

Quite simply the finest fencing club in the country. The coaches, as led by five-time Olympian Michael Marx, are absolutely top-tier. The coaches develop individualized success plans for each fencer, and support each student as the unique athlete they are. The club's atmosphere is warm, welcoming, compassionate, and unfailingly positive....but don't let that fool you...Marx fencers train hard. There's a reason that so many regional and national champions have come out of this club. Our kids call it home, and the team at Marx is our extended family. I've never seen a place quite like it.

What a fantastic fencing club! MFA has excellent coaches with a strong focus on the growth of their young fencers, who strive to provide them with the best learning experience tailored to their individual goals. The lessons are very well organized and always invigorating, and the club's facility is also very nice and clean. Highly recommended!

As a competitive athlete, I've been blessed to call Marx Fencing Academy my home away from home for the past two years. The club puts a lot of effort into building a community of enthusiastic and passionate people. On top of that, they provide excellent training and personalized coaching. I have formed friendships here that will last me a lifetime and shared a fencing strip with some of the best athletes in the country. As a competitive athlete who is in the club all the time and has sat in on, taught, or attended almost every program they offer, I can personally attest to the quality of people and training at Marx Fencing Academy.

If you want to learn the art of fencing, Marx Fencing Academy is the place to be. Michael and Lisa are both dedicated to creating an environment where students can thrive as they learn discipline and teamwork with just the right measure of fun thrown in. They take a positive, student centered approach to teaching that respects the individual for who and where they are. We are so grateful that we are a part of this community and look forward to our daughter's continued growth and development here. We know that the skills she is learning will not only make her a better fencer, but will serve her throughout her life.

Marx Fencing Academy may boast World Cup competitors Adam Maczik and Cassandra Bates among its members but it is also a great place to try fencing for the first time as an adult or a child. My two children have been participating in fencing for about 5 years now. From their initial interest prompted by the famous dueling scene in The Princess Bride through to today where they've enjoyed competing at the local, regional and national level, they have had the great privilege of being coached by Michael Marx (Olympian in foil and epee, national team and collegiate coach, a true fencing master) Marx Fencing Academy promotes athlete centered coaching and this is the signature benefit you should consider when choosing a school.
