Why Fencing?

We love fencing because fencing is a challenging sword fighting sport that requires you to make quick tactical decisions in the middle of the fight. It teaches people how to analyze situations, make complex decisions quickly, to think on their feet all without anyone getting hurt.

Did you now – Cobra Fencers are regularly recruited to some of the top colleges and universities.

"Cobra is like a second home to us.  The coaches are incredibly accomplished, humble and caring, and our kids look up to them.  Their dedication and passion inspires our kids and has pushed them to achieve far more than we ever expected. "
