Eve Bois

Our fencer has been training with Coach Achiko for 6 years and we couldn’t be happier with Scarsdale Fencing Center. The facilities, staff, and fencing community of parents and families is wonderful! The club itself is modern and easy to access by car (and metronorth, which is great for older students who can travel alone). Coaches Achiko and Maksim are top-notch and provide excellent coaching during private lessons and at tournaments. Their holiday camps and group classes are a great for beginners and elite fencers alike. The club is welcoming of all fencers and the coaches take pride in supporting each individual fencer to be their best.

Stefan Andriopoulos

My two sons went for a trial class at this new Fencing Center. Coach Archil and Coach Maksim are renowned experts and fencing coaches and they also are warm and personable. My sons had a blast and will be attending their summer camp and take classes. The space has beautiful light and state of the art equipment and floors. I highly recommend this center.

My daughter has been a student of Coach Achiko Lortkipanidze for a number of years and we are very excited to follow him to his new club. SFC is beautiful airy sunny new facility with everything a new or an experienced fencers can wish for - wonderful coaches with the track record of national & international competitions results, solid track record students recruited by top colleges, and a nurturing atmosphere our kids need.

World class instruction by the most knowledgeable, kind, patient, empathetic and encouraging coaches. SFC manages to prepare students for the toughest of competitions while maintaining a feeling of family and friendship among members in the club.

Christina Li

Scarsdale Fencing Center is a top notch fencing academy dedicated to saber. Location is accessible from NYC by train and there’s parking aswll if you’re driving. Coach Achiko and Coach Maksim truly care about their students and development. My daughter has been with Coach Achiko for a few years now and we travel between NYC and Scarsdale just to see him! He cares deeply about his students and is extremely communicative with parents. He goes out of his way to make busy schedules work so that students get his time. We have full trust in the teaching and coaching at Scarsdale Fencing Center and LOVE the coaches!
