Every summer, we run 5-days long day camps for beginner fencers. We provide a fun exposure to the sport of fencing in a safe setting. With a focus on fun fencing and games, every camper walks away from this class with a smile on their face. Our camps include general fitness, footwork, blade work, bouting, hand-eye coordination drills, and games. During the camp, kids are exposed to Olympic fencing videos, same fencing training drills used by our nationally and internationally competitive fencers, and varying forms of team building exercises.

Positive Coaching Alliance certified coach Jay Choi has over 20 years of experience teaching every level of fencing from absolute beginners to reigning World Champions. Their passion for introducing the sport to new kids makes this camp a great experience for everyone!

Competitive Fencing Camp

At various points throughout the year, we host or travel to elite training camps. We typically invite some of the best coaches and fencers in the world so that our athletes can see how they train and how they approach the game. In the recent camps, we have invited coaches, athletes and referees from NYC, Boston, St. Louis, Colorado, Hungary and Italy for an in-depth educational experience.

Light Saber & Fencing Training Camp

During summer, and several times throughout the year, we also host light saber training camps. We take elements from various martial arts, and provide instruction on lightsaber choreography in a safe, fun manner.

In addition to fight choreography, participants also learn advanced training on applied neuromechanics, making them better athletes as well as helping them make a better use of their bodies in daily lives. This is as close as you can get to learning to use the Force abilities without being a character in a movie or a video game!
