Manhattan Fencing

Manhattan Fencing Center is the number one saber club in the country. We are so glad to join the club. Whether you are a new learner or a teenager who wants to improve your saber level, it is your best choice.

The facilities at MFC are well organized, super clean, and safe; the students are encouraging of one another and very helpful.

We are learning from coach ALEX SOURIMTO who is one of the best fencing coaches in the USA. He is a very professional, kind, and strict coach; he can quickly pinpoint the fencer's weakness and teach the corresponding technics/strategies. His stripe coach is also far beyond your expectations and helps to build the kids' mindsets for long-term sportsmanship. After a period of time, the kids are delighted and eager to learn; the coach and the club will be part of your family.

It is highly recommended!

As a decorated athlete, Coach Vladymyr is very experienced in saber fencing. He is very friendly and patient with young fencers. I also find the staff at MFC incredibly helpful and other coaches at my son’s group classes very knowledgeable. It takes a village and I am glad that I found MFC.

Manhattan Fencing Center is my happy place in the City! I started private classes with coach Vlad as my first contact with fencing. He is incredible. He has so much patience to explain me and provide me the tools to develop my skills while I enjoy myself. He always has a good sense of humor and a sensitive approach to teach me the discipline I need to learn to advance. I am a busy mom who fences for recreation purposes, and I have the privilege to have coach Vlad, MFC's great location/ very clean environment, and kind staff. It is my opportunity to offer my 4 years old son the motivation to start fencing soon, also with coach Vlad.

I love Manhattan Fencing Club and so does my son. The coaches are incredibly supportive and positive, but also focused on helping everyone grow and give the students 1on1 attention. The facilities are always clean and well-equipped. You can just tell that everyone that works there absolutely loves what they are doing; the passion and dedication really shines through.

Yury, the Head Coach and the owner, couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. All the coaches are fantastic, great with fencers, kind, and patient.

Coach Sergey is phenomenal. He is greatly involved, truly loves fencing, and enjoys helping all fencers achieve their best. His students are happy and challenged. I actively see growth in my son’s abilities.

I also love the honesty and integrity of this exceptional place.

My kids’ experience at MFC has been incomparable. It is evident that the coaches truly care about the students and want to help them succeed. My daughters work with Coach Sergey Isayenko, who has all the qualities of a great coach. He is encouraging, patient, and has a constructive approach that is rare to find. More than that, Sergey incorporates skills that not only apply to fencing but life as well. He teaches good sportsmanship, hard work, discipline, and always finds the best in his students. My sons work with Coach Alex Sourimto and there are only positives to say about him. He is supportive, goal-oriented, and more importantly, has a lot of respect for his students. Both coaches have built great relationships and communicate well with my kids. Overall, MFC has been a great experience and we can’t be more appreciative to this club and it’s amazing coaches.
