Led by Head Coach Julie Shin, a former member of Korea’s National Elite Team, Athena brings elite-level training and Olympic-inspired discipline to fencers of all ages and skill levels.

At Athena, we believe fencing isn’t just about competition - it’s about building focus, resilience, and lifelong character. From complete beginners to national-level athletes, we’re proud to guide students on their fencing journey in a safe, inclusive, and encouraging environment.
