Our Coaches teach all aspects and levels of fencing, from basic beginner skills to techniques used at the highest level of international competition. In each case, our coaches help individual fencers realize their full potential. Many of our students compete in regional, national and international competitions.
They develop camaraderie with fencers from other schools and regions, and are recruited by the best colleges and universities in the country, often with full or partial athletic and academic scholarships.
Whether your goal is to fence competitively or simply increase fitness, you will develop outstanding, character-building skills: patience, dedication, confidence, strength, and a healthy and positive outlook on life.
The Florida International Fencing Academy mission is to promote excellence in the sport of fencing. To encourage and support the growth, and the development of the sport. And to provide the community with an environment that will nurture and promote fencing throughout Palm Beach County.
