About Our Facility

Located on the east side of Rainbow Boulevard, just south of Charleston Boulevard at 1220 South Rainbow, the Fencing Academy of Nevada offers a state-of-the-art fencing facility for both competitive and recreational fencers. The Academy features 15 strips and the latest in electronic scoring equipment. If you are new to the sport, there are beginner classes for youth, teen and adult age groups. If you are returning to the sport, we offer private lessons and competitive classes.

About Our Philosophy

The Academy focuses on the sportsmanship, respect, and traditions of fencing. We believe it is the process by which a person becomes a fencer that is important, and we offer a supportive training program that focuses on the fencer as an individual. Beginners and experienced fencers are welcomed equally. We are a “community” of fencers that support each other both on and off the strip.

About Our Program

Fencing at the Academy is under the direction of our Head Coach, Maitre Yves Auriol, 4-time U.S. Olympic team coach, 17-year head coach University of Notre Dame, NCAA Coach of the Year, and 2007 USFA Hall of Fame.
