Royal Arts Fencing Academy

I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Julia Richey and her husband at the Arnold's Fencing Classic in Columbus Ohio this past weekend. Mrs. Richey is such a beautiful and classy lady that caught my attention from the beginning. She was the Supreme Leader of the tournament, and what a wonderful job she performed. By observation alone, she loves what she does, and she's very caring and genuine. I'm glad that I had the pleasure to meet her, and thank you for the two sports equipment you gave me to take to back to Georgia with me. She was also humble enough to tape it up for me with the other two that I purchased.

This is a wonderful fencing gym. Tim and Julia are great mentors. Its great for all ages and skill levels or complete novice.

We are new to Royal Arts and after being introduced last year, we decided to start coming regularly. My 16 year old son has met a new group of friends that have been supportive and inviting, and my 8 year old daughter loves it. Coach Julia is incredibly skilled in the art of fencing and shows strength and discipline to her students. The other coaches are always there for every fencer in the club.

I have played a lot of sports, but never encountered coaches who care so very much about their students (of every age). They brought back my love of fencing after several years on a break.

Love my time at Royal Arts. They've quickly become a second family and have welcomed the newbie in the wheelchair with open arms and so much knowledge. Everyone is great. Love seeing new options open so that everyone has the opportunity to check out this sport.
