Helping kids create a golden path for themselves, one touch at a time!

Toby's Fencing Academy is a youth fencing program aiming to introduce fencing to the community. The founder Natalia Toby was inspired by Europe's fencing system where fencing is affordable and common, unlike America.

 

Why fencing?

"Fencing has changed my life. I was the quiet and reserved child, and fencing brought me up to be the independent, charismatic, and disciplined individual that I am today. I think it's only fair that I share this to other kids in my community" -Natalia Toby Founder of TFA

About the Founder!

I started fencing during my first year in high school which is surprisingly a pretty late start for fencing, and I was 2nd in NJ by senior year, got a full ride to a Division I university. At Fairleigh Dickinson University I became 3x caption of my team, 3x qualifier for NCAA, 21st in the country, 2x woman athlete of the year, and became a US Gold medalist by my senior year. Now that I have graduated college, I am a 2024 Olympic hopeful, currently training with one of the top 5 coaches in the world

Why is this class different?

 

1

We have the best prices in NJ (the avg. monthly cost everywhere else is + $700)

2

Our overall goal is to expose your kid to this sport in a safe and fun environment.

3

Fencing is both tactical and technical which is great for confidence building!

 

Kind words from our parents

“I wanted to say that this class and Natalia have been a godsend during the pandemic. The classes have been an awesome, low-pressure way to gain real fencing skills and techniques. My son loves it and has wanted to continue through cold weather and the shift to remote classes. Natalia was able to evolve on the fly without missing a beat and while still keeping kids engaged.”
