Fencing is the oldest “modern” Olympic sport. It trains both the mind and body to achieve success. When on “the strip” a fencer is faced with an individual challenge to succeed no different than that in life. Whether one “wins” or "looses" at any one given moment is secondary. How one approaches the challenge and learns from the experience is paramount.

The Marin Fencing Academy  is currently offering group and individual lessons in beginner, intermediate, and advanced Foil, Epee, and Sabre for recreational and competition fencing.

We are an accredited club recognized by the United States Fencing Association (USFA) with national and international credentials.

Maestro Stuart Phillip Kaufman is the only Maestro in the Western Hemisphere certified to teach "The Modern School of Italian Sword". His maestro, the famous Olympic fencer Eduardo Mangioratti, the greatest combined épée and foil fencer the world had ever seen. Mangioratti's participation in world and Olympic championships spanned 25 years and resulted in an amazing 40 top three placings.

Maestro Kaufman (Circolo della Spada; Mangiarotti-Milan, Italy-1978; L'Accademia Nazionale di Scherma-Naples, Italy-2003) provides all conceptual direction for club training programs.

Classes are held at the Masonic Lodge Auditorium, 1010 Looten Place, San Rafael, CA. 94901 as well as additional venues for schools and business. Schedule a free introductory lesson and see how fencing can augment your (or your child’s) physical and mental fitness as well as to achieve the self esteem required for success in life.
