About Vivo Fencing Club
Founded in 2012, Vivo Fencing Club teaches both foil and épée classes to beginners through elite competitive fencers. Fencing is a great combination of athleticism, fun and discipline. We are now located in Haverhill, MA – which is about 35 miles north of Boston.
The club has 15 electric strips, laid out on special resilient sports flooring, in a 12-month climate-controlled salle. There is plenty of parking available right outside the door. We supply all of the fencing equipment for our beginner classes, making Vivo a great place to try out the Olympic sport of fencing.
Our coaches reflect the best in the sport: Arpad Horvath is a former Epee World Champion, and Molly Sullivan Sliney is a two-time Olympic Foil Fencer. Kornel Udvarhelyi is our Master Coach for the Epee program having joined Vivo after serving as Coach of the U.S. Men’s Epee Olympic Team in Tokyo 2020/2021. Eva Tukora is our coach supporting our epee program and coach Jeffrey Goodrich works across programs Come check us out. We are ready to welcome you. As we say, “En garde!”
We offer Beginner Youth Fencing for boys and girls. We also have classes for teens/adults. Then you move to Intermediate Fencing after that. The goal for our youth fencersis to join a Competitive Fencing Class. After all, Fencing is a competitive sport. Participating in the competing community with fencers from other area clubs is a lot of fun! That’s where it all starts. And it ladders up to Regional, National, And, International competitions. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let us know if you are interested in beginning fencing!
