New York Fencing Academy’s team of experienced coaches locks blades with students while teaching their curriculum of safe and challenging fencing instruction. In the private, one-on-one lessons, which can be scheduled before and after classes, fencers of all levels step, lunge, and parry down one of six fencing strips in the 3,000-square-foot gym in head-to-head duels with instructors. The one-hour adults’ and kids’ beginner classes develop basic swordplay skills, including footwork and fencing etiquette, and 1.5-hour intermediate classes build off of the foundational skills. Improve strength, speed, coordination, and endurance in a 30-minute conditioning class, an intense workout that amplifies each student’s game and drastically improves Zorro impressions. The Academy provides all necessary equipment, but students should don athletic shoes, and can bring a glove with which to slap opponents’ faces over perceived slights.

In the intensive five-day camp, which caters to beginners and advanced students, coaches lead conditioning drills and impart the secrets of footwork and blade work as sparring students test their skills. Campers should wear sweat pants and athletic shoes to the camp, and bring water and a bagged lunch, lunch money, or hot dogs to pierce with foils and cook over a bonfire. Friends and family can view matches from the comfortable spectator area with TV, WiFi, seating, and murals created by artist Ian King.
