Excellent programs for all skill levels from beginning to advance and for both youth and adults. Fun, entertaining tournaments. After taking a few beginning classes during their summer program, my daughter was hooked! The teachers are welcoming, enthusiastic, engaging, and motivating. RIFAC often has various themed fencing tournaments, such as Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, which makes the sport even more exciting and entertaining. My child can't wait to advance so she can participate in these tournaments and I'm also anxious to watch all the fun. Overall stellar organization!

Zeta fencing is as good as it gets. Zoran has been an assistant coach at Harvard, the head coach of…read moreStanford fencing, and an Olympic coach. His fencers have medaled at almost every level of competition in the US and in the world. He is, in my opinion, the best saber coach in the country. He will be the 2016 Olympic fencing head coach. Zoran is great with kids of all ages and gets the most out of every kid. He has also built what is probably the most beautiful fencing club in America. The chandelier, the stained glass, the old paintings of famous fencers, the 18th and 19th century furniture , and the arms and armor all around the room make fencing at Zeta a truly unique experience. Fencing is an incredible sport that combines both physical and mental strength and I hope more people try it. I will never regret signing up when I was in seventh grade and getting hooked almost instantly. Nine years later, I am fencing at the Division 1 level in college and can easily say joining Zeta is one of the best choices of my life.

It's similar to Kung Fu which I took before but honestly it's more like Filipino Cali because you are sparring with people who are actually trying to kill you.

The coaches are great at what they do (and have amazing credentials). I have learned so much and made so much progress without feeling like I'm at a boot camp - definitely having fun in the process. Everyone is very welcoming and and friendly and are always willing to help each other out. It is not uncommon to see national level competitors fencing with less experienced fencers and helping them improve. It's also great to see the older teenagers who have trained for assistant coach volunteering to help with the younger kids and some being recruited by colleges. And it's not just for kids (there are some families who fence together, which is pretty neat), I took my first class there at the age of 30. Classes and membership are much cheaper than I expected. They provide equipment too.
