All the instructors are patient, especially for the younger students, and are very knowledgeable. They learn scoring techniques right away and even use the electronic scoring system. You can sign up for monthly lessons and scheduling is flexible. I heard fencing is a great sport to get into top universities !

Having never picked up a sabre before, this class gave me great appreciation for the skill, athletic ability and stamina required for fencing. But dont worry, they give you a breather if you need one. I highly recommend this class. It definitely helps with fitness but you will also have a lot of fun.

The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to assist, answer questions and help with sizing and ordering equipment and clothing. My child started fencing as a beginner, and thanks to Coach Andrew's patience, encouragement, and expert guidance, she has made incredible progress. He is very pleasant and makes sure every session is challenging but fun. Coach Andrew also places a strong emphasis on conditioning, and the workouts are also intense but incredibly effective. Highly recommend Manhattan Fencing and Coach Andrew for anyone looking to improve their fencing skills at any level!

There is a much more convenient fencing club close to my home, but I much prefer the instruction at Integrity Fencing and go out of my way to bring my son to these instructors. I highly recommend them.

Came for a tournament recently, so I can't speak much about the coaching or regular use of the…read moreclub. But the tournament was well run. Although I was a little surprised by the lack of a cord/weapon check at the start, but it was a small event. The club itself is a nice facility. There was plenty of workout equipment. There is a sitting room for parents that is air conditioned and heated (as appropriate). If I ever move back to the area, Hub City would be my first choice. (In fact, I regularly recommend it to friends in the area to try the introductory program.) They have all of their prices listed on their website, which many clubs don't do. I follow Hub City on facebook and they regularly have advertised specials for both Adult and Children's classes. Most recently was a $300 10-week adult class that included mask, glove and jacket - that is a steal! Hub City is also one of the few clubs I have seen offer a Mommy & Me program for kids under 7. I don't know too much about it, but it is a great way to introduce your child to a sport they could reasonably do into their 90s.

I like the fact that the 10-week course includes gear that you custom size and keep for yourself (helmet, jacket & glove).
