Fresno Fencing Academy founder Vladimir Ostatnigrosh won multiple fencing championships and accolades in his native Ukraine and the former Soviet Union before swinging his way to the United States, where he trains fencers of all ages and experience levels, via giant chandelier. The four-week introductory course outlines the history of fencing and the basic rules and techniques for brandishing the most commonly used modern swords: the foil, saber, epee, and the tiny plastic blades that garnish cocktails. Fresno Fencing Academy supplies its apprentice blade-brandishers with all of the equipment and protective gear they need to safely master the basics of swashbuckling and extreme haircutting under the tutelage of experienced coaches.
Fresno Fencing Academy recently acquired a 4,000-square-foot studio with ample space for private and group lessons.
