Saratoga Fencing Club

We heard about this fencing club from other parents at Blossom Hill Elementary and decided to give it a try for our kids. At first, they were just curious, didn't really know what fencing was. But now, after three months, they absolutely love it! Coach Bogdan and his team are amazing with kids. Bogdan is very kind, fun, and incredible instructor and really know how to teach. It's such a unique sport, not something you find everywhere. We're so happy we found this place. Definitely recommend!

I joined Saratoga Fencing Club as a complete beginner, and it has been an amazing experience! The coaches are incredibly patient and break down the basics in a way that's easy to understand. They provide personalized attention during each session, making sure you learn at your own pace. The club has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and I've met some wonderful people. The equipment and facilities are excellent too. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to start fencing!"

Bogdan is an excellent coach and consummate professional. He has mentored National and International medalists and NCAA Champions. During his years coaching at St. Johns and Stanford Universities his students have shown outstanding results. I have always been impressed with his ability to bring up absolute beginners to elite level. IMHO Saratoga community is extremely lucky to have such an accomplished fencer and coach work with its youth.

Bogdan's expertise comes from his background as a former Ukrainian national champion and member of the National Fencing Team. What impressed us most was his remarkable patience and strong work ethic. He works tirelessly and deeply cares about his students. His keen eye for detail allows him to identify and correct mistakes early, ensuring that students develop a strong foundation. As a certified USA Fencing Coach and FIE referee at international tournaments, he brings a wealth of experience and insight to his coaching. Personally, I took some adult lessons, and they were enjoyable. It's a great way to stay fit and have fun. Although the club is unfortunately too far for us to attend regularly, I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

The Saratoga Fencing Club fosters a welcoming and supportive community. My child has made friends and feels like part of a team, which has enhanced their overall experience. I appreciate the clear communication and organization of the club. They keep parents informed about schedules, events, and any changes promptly.
