  • As former fencers, my husband and I put a lot of thought into where we wanted to bring our young children to start fencing. I asked several friends still involved in coaching fencing and they recommended trying Sheridan. We have had the best experience and are so grateful to the studio.

  • While it's a great place for younger kids to fence, it's also a great starting place for adults with little to no prior experience! The coaches are fantastic, it's a fun environment, and a wonderful way to pick up a new hobby that happens to be an awesome workout.
