welcome to LAFAP
We are dedicated to advancing youth fencing by cultivating excellence, leadership, and character development.
Through professional training, high-level competitions, and meaningful community engagement, we empower young athletes to grow not only as competitors but as confident, disciplined, and resilient leaders.
We regularly host premier fencing events that promote skill development, sportsmanship, and cross-community exchange. At the same time, we organize public benefit programs and community outreach initiatives to share the artistry, strategy, and values of fencing with a broader audience.
Our foundation is committed to the long-term growth of the sport by supporting outstanding collegiate fencing teams and building a strong pathway from youth development to higher education. Together, we strive to elevate fencing and inspire the next generation of leaders—on and off the piste.
At LAFA in Pomona, we specialize in sabre fencing for all ages from beginners to elite competitors. Our coaching team includes Olympian-level instructors who bring world-class expertise to every session. Our students consistently compete at the national level, achieving strong results at the Junior Olympics and Division I events. Many of our alumni have moved on to NCAA Division I fencing programs and have been recruited by Ivy League institutions. Here at LAFA, we foster a supportive environment where everyone feels like family, training together to become champions.
