Côte du Golfe School of Fencing, Naples

Côte du Golfe School of Fencing (CGSF) provides fencing instruction for Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and Ft Myers. We are the only school in Southwest Florida certified to teach classes in classical and historical weapons as a martial art by a traditional Fencing Master. CGSF is a branch of the Martinez Academy of Arms in New York City, and as such teaches a style of fencing focusing on defense with a sword. We share a discipline which was taught by fencing masters and practiced by duellists of the 18th and 19th centuries, and are steeped in a direct lineage of fencing knowledge that is generations old. This tradition is quite distinct from the more common modern, electrified sporting form of fencing. If you are interested in fencing, HEMA, history, or just want a great workout that is both physical and mental, we are the right place for you!
