NYFA WEEKEND RESULTS
Congratulations to some of our students who competed in local tournaments this weekend:
- Sam Burman – bronze medal, NJFA Youth tournament. Good job Sam – keep it up.
- Kevin Ko – 12th, Nyack Tanya Adampovich Cup. It was an A2 tournament with 33 competitors, half of them had ratings. Kevin earned his “E2012” and on the way, he beat an adult “A” rated fencer – good job Kevin!

Skyler is getting back in shape after the injury and we wish him the best at coming Capitol Clash SYC and JO’s where he will represent NYFA along with Sam Burman, Romain Cannone, Bennett Cohen, Anna Brosgol, Annie Morelli, Gabriel Canaux, Peye Wong and Sophia Chelnitsky!
Go NYFA!

GRAND OPENING PARTY WEEKEND
We had a blast all weekend with our members and new friends who joined us to celebrate the grand opening of our new facilities! Students had to coach their parents and parents bouted; fencers competed for the best balloon popper title; and our guests discovered the thrilling sport of sword fighting!
Thanks to everyone for coming, and thanks to our fencers and parents for your help in making our first year so successful. We look forward to an even greater year in our new fencing center. Go NYFA!
WE’RE EXPANDING OUR CLUB!
We are excited to announce that in just a few weeks, we will be relocating upstairs to a larger, fully renovated facility to accommodate our growing family of fencers.
