Since 2010, AFA has been North Carolina’s premier destination for Olympic fencing. Whether you want to stay active, learn something new, or chase big dreams, AFA has a program to match. We welcome beginners and experienced fencers alike, with expert coaches who guide each student toward their goals—recreational or competitive.
Wonderful exercise for my teen! He enjoys the pace of fencing and is always sweaty and exhausted after class.
My son loves taking classes here. They provide all the equipment for the intro and beginner level classes.
We love the coaches here! It’s a wonderful club where kids get to grow their skills and confidence in fencing.
Took a tour today. Igor was very informative in explaining the intro beginner class requirements, class agenda, and materials. Good covid protocols and overall clean facility . I’m excited to try a class and see if fencing is something I will enjoy.
Igor and Elli are amazing instructors! Very patient and knowledgeable. We did a group lesson and would absolutely recommend to anyone! Beginner or experienced! Clean equipment and facility!
Great experience. We planned a groomsmen event here which ended up being a blast. Coach Igor and his daughter Ellie were fantastic coaches who provided us with a great experience, along with showing us the basic skills of fencing and setting up a tournament style event.
We just completed the beginner lesson series at Apex Fencing Academy. Coach Igor and Coach Kriszti were fantastic. My daughter loved this experience and were are excited to move on to additional lessons. I *highly* recommend. This is a welcoming environment that teaches kids (and adults) the importance of technique, discipline, and perseverance.
My son and I fence at Apex Fencing Academy. My son started at 9 years old in the U10 class. Over the years he’s progressed through beginner, intermediate and now competitive programs. Coach Kriszti & Coach Igor have been there every step of the way. We recently moved into our own Apex location (from Middle Creek Community Center), and the new location offers more space, regulation strips, and a more serious atmosphere. Whatever your level, beginner, recreational or competitive, there’s a place for you at Apex Fencing Academy.
