Charlotte Fencing Academy

We are open on Labor Day, Sept 2!

The “Big 3” all won at least one Region 6 (Southeast) points title last year! Major congrats to Eva, Sebastian, and Henry!

We are open tonight. Be careful on the roads however!

That’s golden! The first team Olympic gold in U.S fencing history!

The hits keep on coming. Congratulations to Eva and Sebastian for being named first team All American by USFA.

HVAC fixed! Classes are on per schedule!

HVAC still down so we’re closed today. Longer look by maintenance tomorrow so we *should* be up. One of the units panels was fused (!!) by a power surge from the storm.

Air conditioning definitely out. Air conditioning folks on the way. Will let everyone know if we’re open tomorrow.

Issues with AC have been reported at the school today(July 6th), if you’re coming from a distance it may not be a good idea to come by today. Having someone verify today.

Congratulations to Lacey for finishing 3rd in the Vet40 Women’s Foil national championship! (She maaay have missed the official photo….)

Congratulations to Eva for coming in 8th in Cadet Women’s Epee at Summer Nationals and Henri for coming in 5th in the Vet 70 National Championships!

This just in! For your calendaring needs, we're proud to share the event combos for next season's tournament schedule!

Worth noting:
👉 A Division I NAC will now be held alongside the Junior Olympic Championships in Charlotte.
👉 The Junior Team Championships have been moved from Junior Olympics to be held alongside the Division I and Para Championships at the April NAC.
👉 We have added a fan-favorite Cadet Team event for the November NAC in Louisville and are hosting a Vet Team event at the January NAC in Kansas City to provide additional team competitive opportunities for these age groups!

⏰ Day schedules (showing which events happen on which days) will be shared shortly after Summer Nationals — and before registration opens for the October NAC and November NAC on Aug. 1!

Congratulations To Henry B on winning the Y14 Boy’s Epee at the Apex RYC. In The Y10, Carson came in 2nd, Henry S came in 3rd, and Jack came in 6th.

Something about this seems familiar…

At this year's Junior Olympics, we're partnering with Nathan Bingle Photography to offer a portrait studio for fencers, teams/clubs and families.

These frame-worthy portraits are perfect for enhancing your fencing resume, boosting your fencing social media presence, or creating a memorable keepsake/gift.

Just a reminder that the school is closed today, February 4th, as I’ll be coaching our fencers in Apex!
