Exceptional youth program, specializing in saber fencing. Coaches Achiko and Maksim have years of teaching and fencing experience. They have produced world-class level fencers while making this complex and mentally challenging sport both fun and interesting for kids. The studio is very nice and clean.

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

World class coaches (Coach Achiko especially!) provide outstanding Fencing lessons and classes in a healthy and safe environment that promotes comradery and sportsmanship. From wee beginner to competing at the highest levels, SFC is where every fencer will evolve into a true champion.

Scarsdale Fencing Center ( SFC) 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.

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.

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.

Scarsdale Fencing Center may be new but Coaches Maxim and Achiko (friends and teammates since their early teens) have a wealth of experience training their students with many becoming highly accomplished fencers earning national and international recognition. My daughter has been Achiko’s student for over 6 years starting from the age of 8. What I noticed from the very beginning was Achiko’s fine attention to technique, always adjusting his students’ form and footwork. This lays crucial groundwork for success at older ages where strategy is key and where experienced opponents easily take advantage of sloppy form and footwork. Achiko and Maxim at Scarsdale Fencing Center don’t just teach fencing moves but have a cohesive methodology encompassing technique, footwork and strategies. Achiko is a dedicated coach providing emotional and mental support, always checking in with my daughter after her bad and good days. I highly recommend Scarsdale Fencing Center and Coaches Maxim and Achiko!

World class coaches, a great group of kids,modern and clean facilities, and the results! SFC students consistently place high in regional, national and international competitions, and the school has an excellent track record of college placement. We love it! (can you tell?)

My daughter had a great time at winter camp.

We just had winter camp and my daughter loved it.
