Washington Fencing Academy (WFA) is an Olympic style fencing academy that serves Western Washington. Join us!
Based in Issaquah, our fencers come from all over Seattle’s Eastside. Our head coach, Olympic fencer and former Ivy-league (Brown University) coach Atilio Tass leads the WFA in fencing suited for all levels of fencers, beginner to Olympian. Our “rolling enrollment” lets fencers begin at any time throughout the year.

Back to school is the perfect time to try something new! 🤺 Youth fencing builds confidence, focus, coordination, and quick thinking—all while giving kids a fun way to stay active.
Enrollment is now open for youth classes, and free trial sessions are available. Come meet our coaches, pick up a saber, and discover why so many students love fencing.
Join the WFA family this fall!

It's time!
Whether you're planning to enter your first competion or you've returned from Summer Nats, it's time to get back in the gym and get pumped!
From us: Group lessons,. Private lessons. Open fencing. Training clinics.
From you: Commitment. Dedication. Drive. Focus.
Put them together and you have everything you need for a successful season. But it can't happen if you don't show up, physically and mentally.
Time to get back to the gym!
We are incredibly proud of everything our fencers accomplished at the National Championships—not only the results they earned, but the growth we saw in each of them throughout the year.
They became stronger competitors, more thoughtful teammates, and more confident people. Every bout, every challenge, and every long day of training helped shape the fencers they are becoming.
We are so proud of this team and everything they brought to the strip this season. Now we celebrate, recharge, and start looking ahead.
We can’t wait to see what next season brings!

What an amazing day! The guys did really well in DIV2 men's saber. Neal, Devon, and Ethan all made it to the DEs, with Devon making it to the second round. Kiki and Indira took on DIV2 Women's Saber, with both making it into DEs. Indira finished 73rd in her first National level tournament.
Coach Kiki took the spotlight though, with a finish that put her in the podium, taking 6th place!!! We're so proud of her and happy she's there to be an example for all of our students, but most especially for our younger girls. You rock, Kiki!
7 days down, 3 to go!
