Individual lessons are available in all three Olympic weapons. No need for a large buy-in. Come in, use our equipment to try out the sport before getting your own.
Borrow weapons and protective gear from our collection of practice equipment until you know what you'd like to do. Then, Coach can order any equipment you need, at competitive pricing.
Beginners can come in exercise clothing (long sweat pants, or baseball knickers recommended). If you have it, fencing practice gear is encouraged, including:
Have the Coach check any equipment you bring in, before using it on the strips.

Yvonne Gallego
Over 37 years of coaching experience
A participating member of US Fencing Association (USFA), Arizona Division, our equipment is checked to USFA safety standards.
Arizona Fencing Academy is an active member of the Arizona Division, Rocky Mountain Section of the USFA. Tournaments are offered at the fencing school, or salle, and around Arizona, and students often travel with Coach Gallego to regional tournaments in Nevada or California, and national tournaments, for example the Junior Olympics, which in 2004 were held in Cleveland, Ohio. Check out the tournament calendar.
Under USFA rules, tournaments may be age or rank restricted, separated or mixed mens and women's, by weapon type, individual or team, or registration can be more open, or by invitation.
USFA-Compliant Tournament fencing is the means by which fencers gain a classification, or ranking in their weapon and age class. Membership in USFA is optional for students at AFA, but is required for tournament participation.
Students receive private lessons, regardless of competition orientation, by appointment with the Coach, during class hours.
