They didn’t just fence. They showed up stronger. Junior Men’s Saber – Final Day 💪🏼✨

Experience. Leadership. Legacy.

Today, our co-founder Jasmina Denner competed in Vet-60 Women’s Saber, reminding everyone what true veteran fencing looks like.
No medal this time — but an outstanding performance built on years of mastery and heart.

Our coach Hamdy stepped onto the strip in Vet-40 Men’s Saber and fought his way to 🥈 2nd place.

At our club, we don’t just teach fencing.
We live it. ⚔️

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.
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

SFC is a great environment that is conducive to learning about such an intriguing sport. The coaches are in complete control of the program, which is geared toward improving performance, knowledge, and enjoyment of the sport of fencing.
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!
