  • More Than a Sport, T3 has become our extended family

    “My son has been fencing at T3 for five years, and it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made as a family. The coaches genuinely care about every fencer’s development, and the community has become like an extended family to us. Watching him compete at national and regional tournaments has been an incredible experience—not just for his athletic growth, but also for the confidence and resilience he’s built along the way. T3 isn’t just a fencing club; it’s a community that invests in your child’s success.”
