Olympia Fencing Center INC. Information

Olympia Fencing Center was founded in 2012, and is privately owned by Daniel and Iulia Hondor. Our main objective is to promote and grow the Olympic sport of fencing, a sport for everyone, across ages and body types. We actively encourage and support all levels of fencing, from beginner/recreational to highly competitive, collegiate, and Olympic fencing. Holder of some of the best results in the country, and prime feeder to the NCAA and Ivy leagues, Olympia is also a proud promoter of gender diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are firmly anchored in the values of equal opportunity in the workplace and proudly stand against racism and support public solutions that promote racial equity in all aspects of human affairs, as well as other organizations working to eradicate racism from our society. Our company strongly believes that working across multiple cultures translates into better performance. Our second location opened in January 2023, in Newton, MA, offering the same great opportunities to the families in the area as its sister Cambridge location. Both Cambridge and Newton locations boast over 6500 SF, equipped with state-of-the-art electrical fencing equipment, month-to-month memberships, private lessons, summer camps, and clinics for all levels.
