It was a great weekend for Brooklyn Bridge Fencing Club, with strong performances both nationally and locally.
From Coach Michael Green competing at the April North American Cup (NAC) in Richmond to our younger fencers taking the podium in Manhattan, it’s exciting to see the continued growth across all levels of the program.

A Strong Showing Across the Board
Overall, BBFC fencers came away with 1 gold medal and multiple podium finishes, with representation and success in every event we entered.
That kind of consistency is what we love to see—it speaks to the hard work our fencers are putting in week after week, and the steady development happening across the club.
What’s Next for BBFC Fencers?
As we head into the next stretch of the season, this momentum is something to build on.
For families whose kids are enjoying fencing, this is a great time to:
Add an extra day of training
Start weekly private lessons
Begin thinking about competing more regularly
Looking Ahead
We’re excited to see what’s next as our fencers continue to grow and challenge themselves.
Congratulations to all of our athletes and Coach Michael on a fantastic weekend!
