About Fencing Lessons & Coaching
Our academy is where raw talent gets a real shot at turning into medals and memories. I’ve seen beginners walk in nervous, and later, walk out with trophies. A lot of our pride comes from our students’ wins - like Aditri’s double gold run or Vinod being named Best Epee Player in Karnataka.
Who Can Train Here
- Absolute newbies - never touched a sword? No problem, I’ll show you from the ground up.
- Young guns - our youth fencing coaching program is tight, and we’ve got a solid track record for getting kids competition-ready.
- Seasoned competitors - if you’re already fencing and hungry for more, I know how to push for that edge.
How I Coach
- I start with fencing fundamentals for kids and adults – footwork, grip, rules, and all those ref calls that sound like French.
- There’s a clear path: you learn, you spar, and if you want, you compete.
- I’m strict about discipline. Fencing isn’t just about speed - it’s about honour, too.
- Epee fencing specialization is our thing, but I’ll make sure you get a taste of all weapons if you’re curious.
I won’t sugarcoat it: fencing is tough, but winning makes it worth the sweat. If you’re serious (or just curious), I’ve got a spot for you.

My Story
We’re Bengaluru Fencing Academy, but most kids just call us BFA. Medals? Sure, we love them. But what really matters is seeing someone like Aditri waving the Indian flag or Vinod grinning after being named best epee player. That’s why we do this. We started BFA to build a real fencing family, not just a training center. Every win, big or small, gets a cheer from all of us.
