Royal Musketeers Family ❤️

This Valentine’s season is about love, and there is no greater example of love than the time, energy, and heart Coach TJ and all of our coaches pour into our children every single day. They build more than fencers. They build discipline, character, confidence, and champions , both on and off the strip.

If you haven’t had a chance yet, please consider donating to our Salle campaign. This is one meaningful way we can show our love and appreciation in return.

We are raising $20,000 to continue building a space worthy of our athletes and our mission.

Royal Fencing is expanding into the space next door, and we’re raising $20,000 to make it happen. This means more kids fencing, smaller classes, more coaches, and the ability to host competitions right at our club.

Coach Tejav and the coaching team give our kids more than skills on the strip — they build confidence, resilience, respect, and heart. This expansion helps that impact reach even more children.

Feeling beyond blessed and grateful for incredible friends, family, and Musketeers who always show up with heart and support for this passion we share. ⚔️

Two dozen fencers and their families gave their day off to help paint and move our new Salle forward — all smiles, all love. Truly amazing humans.

Congratulations to our very own Royal Musketeer and Foil Coach Oleg R. for yet again challenging himself in expanding his knowledge and skills by attending a Camp, conducted by Olympians and World Champions Ms Lee Kiefer and Mr Gerek Meinhardt. To top it off, he had the opportunity to fence with Ms Kiefer as well.

Congratulations to Royal Musketeers,
Zara MP. and Bardia S. for preparing to represent the USA, and Royal FA in PanAm youth tournament in Lima, Peru and Leon Paul Youth International, London UK, respectively.
Wishing them both success, fun experience and plenty of stories to tell.
Proud of our Young Warriors
