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. The new club will feature a 3,000 square-foot gym with 6 fencing strips, state-of-the-art equipment, new floors, new heating and air conditioning, windows, locker rooms, and a spectator area with Wi-Fi and TV.  NYFA will still be conveniently located at 2896 W 12th Street in Brooklyn, NY.

Meanwhile, classes are off to a great start at our current location and registration is ongoing. Check out our schedule of epee & foil classes, introductory & member packages, and membership plans.

NYFA PERFORMANCE AT NJFA’S 5TH ANNUAL DANNY BUKANTZ OPEN


We would like to share some impressive results that our fencers showed this weekend!

  • Gabriel Canaux had his best personal result this weekend at the NJFA 5th Annual Danny Bukantz Open. Even though Gabriel is still in Youth 14 age group, he competed in the adult tournament that had 86 competitors. Despite the fact that the tournament consisted of over 20 “A” fencers and the same amount of “B” fencers, Gabriel made his way all the way to the top claiming the Gold Medal and earning his “A 2011” rating.
  • Skyler Chin made NYFA proud as well by making top 16 at the same event. Skyler is only in the 13 year old age group, and we are happy he can compete on the adult level already. Congratulations to Skyler on his performance and on earning his “B 2011” rating.
