Manhattan Fencing Center

For Max Wong, the Yury Gelman Foundation means opportunity — the opportunity to compete more, train more, and continue growing as a fencer. 🤺

Through fencing, Max has developed more than just his skills on the strip. He credits the sport with helping him build leadership and organizational skills, strengthen his focus on academics, and understand the value of hard work.

With the support of the Yury Gelman Foundation, Max is continuing to push himself toward his next goal: earning a Top 8 finish at Nationals. 💪

We’re proud to support Max as he continues to grow both on and off the strip.

The new fencing season starts NEXT TUESDAY! ⚔️
