Okanagan Freestyle Fencing

My 14 year old daughter started at Okanagan Freestyle Fencing in September and she has found the perfect fit. The club provides fitness, self reliance, competitiveness, and friendly camaraderie, with the added bonus of coach Matt and every other coach and member being incredibly welcoming, kind, fun and respectful. Matt sets the expectations and boundaries of the club clearly and consistently, and he is wonderful with people of all ages. His humor, along with that of many others, makes it so there is always laughter and fun mixed in with the games, skill building, and learning of the sport. We are so happy my daughter has found her place! As Matt said to us at the beginning, "It's so fun!!!" Highly recommend!

I've been a student for several years. Started by dropping off my kids for practice and leaving, until I realized it made more sense to stay, learn and have fun as well. It's a really fun, healthy, respectful environment. The coaches are awesome too. And the support athletes at all levels, from beginners and dabblers (like me) to students who go on to compete at the national and international levels.

If you want to give the sport of fencing a try there is no better place to go than Okanagan Freestyle Fencing. The coach is an awesome, understanding instructor who knows both how to train and support you to improve. Each lesson builds on previous knowledge and you're encouraged to find your own style and what works for you. Even if you've never fenced before, don't feel intimidated—club members (and the coach) are always ready to help you learn and give you tips on how to improve. If you ever wanted to pick up a sword, the Okanagan Freestyle Fencing Club is the place to do it without question.

Great club and community for new and experienced fencers alike. Matt is a wonderful coach- full of enthusiasm, energy and a fantastic sense of humor. The kids are taught all the skills of fencing and good sportsmanship, while having fun at the same time. I highly recommend Okanagan Freestyle Fencing!

Matt hands down is a great coach, motivator and all around good family guy. Our son is loving fencing- it has taught him so very much ! Fencing is such an individual and group sport - I have been blown away with the professionals in this club. Highly recommend!!! Its also not terribly expensive to get involved with - and lots of affordable second hand equipment.
