Suffolk Fencing Academy, Farmingville

Feet appear to hover above the hardwood floor, quickly darting left and right and lunging forward in a complicated dance. But this is no ballroom lesson—these are fencing classes at Suffolk Fencing Academy. Students of all ages perform their cutthroat choreography during lessons that teach proper footwork, technique, and strategy. After progressing through the academy's multiple programs, students can take their skills to the next level with competitive weapon training, or private lessons that teach how to carve your name with your sword.
