What People Are Saying About SFC

Scarsdale Fencing Center is a modern, top tier club, with amazing coaches running an incredible program. My daughter has been Coach Achiko's student since she was 9 years old (for over 3 years). He's incredibly nurturing, extremely proactive, and has an amazing relationship with her (she refers to him as her "Fencing Dad"). All of the coaches at the club care greatly about their students in a holistic sense, making sure they're not just physically, but also mentally, prepared for the challenges of the competitive sport of fencing. Our family is extremely happy to be a part of this club and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in fencing.
This review is long overdue.....my daughter has trained with Coach Achiko for 9 years and Coach Maksim since SFC began. You will not find finer coaches (or people) anywhere in the world. They are also very selective in any new coaches they bring in (as they have very high standards), and all have been amazing as well. The vibe and atmosphere at the club is highly sought after and extremely rare, as nearly every time I drive the girls carpool home from practice, they all rave and gush about how fun it is and how it's one of the best parts of their weeks. The girls genuinely love going to their weekly practices at SFC. The community -- families and kids -- are all kind, helpful, and welcoming. The kids help the other kids. The parents help the other parents. Everyone "pays it forward". SFC combines world class coaching, personalized attention, team-oriented family feel, great facilities, stability, and a nurturing growth/competitive environment for kids to learn and progress. I'd recommend SFC 100% without a doubt to anyone looking to try out fencing. Bravo!
Really beautiful Fencing Hall with state-of-the-art equipment. Allot of natural light. World-class coaching by both Maestros. Very nice people and great fencers.
Scarsdale Fencing Center is a wonderful place for both beginners as well as advanced fencers to learn and further develop their love for fencing in a nurturing and welcoming community. The club itself is new, well-equipped, and state-of-the-art, everything a parent would hope from a modern fencing center. Our daughter’s experience at SFC has been great – the coaches are incredibly friendly and talented and seem to truly care about teaching each student based on their individual level of development. Moreover, they inspire and offer encouraging words when needed. Their supportive, enthusiastic, methodical, and constructive approach to their students’ progress and improvement is admirable. We highly recommend the Scarsdale Fencing Center!
We just had winter camp and my daughter loved it.
Wonderful facility with attentive and dedicated instructors and staff. My son always leaves enthusiastic and with a smile on his face. Instructors Maksim and Achiko are amazing and dedicated instructors
Scarsdale Fencing Club is new and elegant, but this club is special because of the people; the coaches and the community. With compassion, coaches Achiko and Maxim guide fencers to be at their highest level. The coaches emphasize discipline and diligence, and inspire fencers to love the sport. The community - both fencers and parents - is wonderful. Our boys have formed a strong bond with other fencers, who are incredibly supportive and caring. The parents are very helpful, and our family is absolutely thrilled to be part of this club.
My daughter started earlier this year, and she is having a lot of fun! Her coach Achiko is one of the best Saber coaches, and the other SFC coaches are also outstanding. All the coaches are experienced and great with kids who may be shy or anxious about starting a new sport.
World-class coaching and facilities. Everyone is super nice and makes the kids feel welcome.
So glad that we have this new fencing club open in Westchester! Great coaching, outstanding program and classes for saber fencing. Kids of all ages can receive world class coaching. The coaches had numerous fencers in team USA, winners of National and international competitions, and currently coaching in Yale. Thoughtful approach to all students, great spirit and support.
