About us

LA Fencing Academy was born out of the desire to promote the lesser known weapon out of the three current fencing weapons of epee, foil, and sabre. We are founded on the principle that sabre fencing builds character, strength, mental acuity, and physical well-being. Due to the immense quickness of the sport, sabre fencing also trains the mind and body to work as one, develops hand-eye coordination, bolsters visual/mental alertness, promotes swift decision-making skills, boosts physical agility, increases focus and concentration, and instills the ideals and spirit of competition, fair play, and teamwork. These attributes not only help promote our fencers’ strengths, but also train them to overcome their weaknesses, equipping them with the skills necessary to succeed both on and off the piste (the dueling area in modern fencing) and in life.
