How to choose a youth fencing club in Brooklyn

Not all fencing clubs offer the same experience. A few factors can help you figure out which program fits your family's goals.

Coach credentials and Olympic-level experience

The quality of coaching matters for long-term development. Look for coaches with competitive experience, formal coaching certifications, and a track record of developing youth fencers.

BBFC's founder, Dan Kellner, is a 2004 Olympian, U.S. Fencing Hall of Fame member, and has coached athletes to Olympic and World Championship medals.

Facility quality and fencing equipment

A well-equipped facility makes training safer and more effective. Look for adequate fencing strips, proper flooring, and well-maintained equipment. BBFC's Dumbo location features nearly 8,000 square feet with 20 full-length strips on custom hardwood flooring.

Competitive pathway from beginner to college recruitment

If your child develops serious interest, you'll want a club that offers a clear progression from beginner classes to competitive training. BBFC's pathway moves fencers from beginner classes to the Future Champions program to the Competitive Training Program. Guidance on college recruitment is available for those who reach that level.
