Give the gift of confidence and development to your little one this holiday season with fencing!

Give the gift of a month of fencing run by an Olympian in training! Toby's Fencing Academy is a fencing program that is created for making fencing fun and affordable for kids. The owner Natalia Toby, is a professional fencer hoping to compete in the 2024 Olympic games and came up with this program to expose the next generation to the sport that she loves. She grew up with people not know what fencing is, and part of that was due to how expensive the sport it is. “There are competitive clubs charging hundreds or even thousands a month to fence and I always felt like this was the reason why a lot of people didn’t start or continue fencing. I want the United States to be like Europe, where you can say you are a fencer and people know the sport instead of referencing the Parent Trap. More info can be found in a previous article here.

Mention Code: Parents who sign up before December 24th can have 20% off with the code "MACKIDS".
