Programs for Every Age

Whether your child is just starting out, ready to try their first competition, or looking to train at the highest levels, we have classes designed to grow with them. Adults new to the sport or returning after time away will also find programs that fit their pace

World-class Coaching

Our coaches bring both national and international experience, but more importantly, they are passionate teachers. They meet students where they are, guiding them to reach personal goals while also building confidence and love for the sport

Proven Results

Many of our athletes go on to compete in NCAA and club fencing while attending schools such as Harvard, Columbia, Brandeis, and Northwestern. Our training not only develops athletic ability, but also cultivates focus, discipline, and leadership skills that help students stand out in the college admissions process

Community Focus

Fencing should be accessible to every child, regardless of financial or physical barriers. That’s why BFC provides scholarships, financial aid, equipment assistance, and parafencing opportunities — so all athletes can experience the joy and challenge of the sport

Flexible Options

For those who want to push themselves, BFC fencers regularly earn medals at local, regional, and national competitions, with some advancing to world championship teams. Whether your child dreams of the Olympics or just wants to test themselves at their first event, our coaches provide the right support

Safety & Supervision

At Boston Fencing Club, your child’s safety is our top priority. All students are fully outfitted with protective gear, and classes are closely supervised by experienced coaches. We maintain a safe coach-to-student ratio so every fencer gets individual attention while learning in a fun, structured environment. From the first footwork drill to competitive bouting, we make sure kids are supported, protected, and confident every step of the way
