FENCING CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
Welcome to MKFA Fencing Academy is founded in 2002, the first of its kind in the Middle East and it is the country’s premier academy for learning the Noble Olympic sport of Fencing, as well as developing existing fencing skills!
The Academy applies the innovative international coaching techniques of the Bulgarian Fencing system mixed with the Italian, French, Hungaria and Russian systems. That technique is influenced by the world-leading fencing masters that are used in the coaching of Olympic and World Champions in the various fencing swords.
Originally called Dubai Fencing Club it changed its name in 2008 to MKFA Fencing Academy to reflect the fact that operates throughout the UAE and the Middle East, not just Dubai.
The Academy’s primary goal is to promote modern fencing as an interesting and fun sport for everyone, to be the central source of fencing, and to provide people with the chance to participate in fencing in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, the whole UAE, and the Middle East. The MKFA coaching schedule includes junior fencing programmes (ages 7 and above), recreational fencing programmes, and competitive National and International level fencing programmes in Epee that are personalised to the individual goals of the fencers.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about fencing and our academy’s activities.
