The Fencing Center

Every first Tuesday of the month is their social event where fencers can come and open fence. Because of that monthly tradition, I started to go and try out the club. I'm one those people who's very cautious and I observe people for years before I decide to get closer or more invested. Well, TFC is my registered club when I compete now. I fenced in college. Then I dabbled a little bit after when I can elsewhere. But it's because of TFC's 1st Tuesdays, I started to attend and observe for years. I asked several fencers I knew around the Bay Area how they felt about the club. So yes, there are pros and cons to every club but I ultimately decided to join this one. I can definitely say they have passion for fencing from the ground up, and that's literally true because they have grounded pistes

Mike is a wonderful teacher and I really enjoyed the fencing experience. It was a lot of fun and much harder than I expected! I think it would be a great sport for any child, especially one that is more suited for an individual sport. I would highly recommend choosing this wonderful fencing location!

Our company went there for a team bonding outing. I think we all had a lot of fun. It was something new and different to try but I walked away appreciating a sport I never gave a second thought to before. The two gentleman who ran our two hour session made the experience both educational and entertaining. They engaged every member of our group and broke down the learning process making it both easy and fun to learn! 5 Stars for these guys!

The facilities are quite good: one of the best in the bay area without a doubt. The coaches are so and so, and you can tell from the quality of the fencers they produce. Management is also somewhat questionable. There are better places in the bay area for epee, foil and sabre. Decent fencers do show up though, so one can get good fencing. Also it should be added that the rest of the reviewers here are not exactly unbiased. This is not by any means a 5 star establishment. They are not exactly producing olympians or anything. (Edit as response: First of all, I have no intention of hurting anybody's reputation. If that were the case, I would have given you a 1 star review. Secondly, it is completely true that TFC has been plagued with internal issues and management problems in the past. As f

One of the best fencing centers in Bay. Coach Dean is amazing. He is magic.
