Terje Hambazaza
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!

My daughter had a great time at winter camp.
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!
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.

We just had winter camp and my daughter loved it.
Teresa Chin Brady
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.
Enrico Gonzalez
I knew Coach Achiko and the great things that he and his staff have accomplished in such a short period of time prior to My Daughter joining in January 2023. When we decided to make the switch to SFC in the middle of the current season after attending their Winter Training Camp, they welcomed us and made my daughter’s transition completely easy. This was the best decision that we made for our daughter in her young fencing journey.
Irina Suarez
A ++ facility with dedicated instructors and staff. Maksim and Achiko are amazing. They break down every detail and make it very easy to understand. My son is always excited after his lessons. Best thing: personalized attention, not a "factory" where you are just another nameless face in a large clinic session. Two enthusiastic thumbs up
Michelle Morrill
Scarsdale fencing center is a bright modern fencing club with top notch instructors. My two boys have been coached by Achiko Lortkipanidze for 6 years and they have grown from beginner fencers to top ranked in the country and being recruited for Div 1 colleges. More importantly than their success is how Coach Achicko supports them even when they fail and ensures they keep their love of the sport.
Irina Baskakova
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.
