Come and Visit!
Over the years, our club has produced numerous national and international medalists, and Olympia Fencing Center is the number one NCAA feeder in the New England Division.
Three of the six 2018 US Cadet Epee World Team come from our club, and we’re the only club in the US to send a woman epeeist to the 2018 Youth Olympics, in Buenos Aires, AG.
Our students have historically made the US Cadet and Junior Teams and have been among the youngest fencers in the country to achieve higher ratings.
Our club is the only fencing organization in the New England Division to qualify fencers for both the Junior and Senior World Cups in the post-COVID years.
Our coaches are experienced fencers and educators; all our foreign coaches hold the O-1 visa, a special work visa for Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement.
Fencing for fun, to stay fit, or fencing competitively, you’ll find at Olympia a friendly but professional place. Our programs are specifically crafted and organized by level and skill. This is the place where age is just a number.
