About the North Shore Fencers Club
North Shore Fencers Club is a family-oriented institution located at 240 Community Drive in Great Neck, New York. With over two decades of experience in developing successful athletes, we cater to local, national, and international competitive fencers. Fencing, often described as "physical chess," involves a strategic mental battle between opponents. As an individual sport, fencers must control their emotions to outthink their competitors and avoid making mistakes, teaching important life skills such as emotional regulation. Fencers learn to cope gracefully with both success and defeat, dealing with intense pressure in every bout. Each match begins with a salute to the opponent and ends with a handshake, emphasizing the importance of showing courtesy and respect while engaging in the sport's competitive nature.

Reviews of North Shore Fencers Club
"I signed my son up 2.5 years ago and it honestly changed his fencing career. This club has a variety of coaches for different skill level, different age level, and provides great training for all beginners. They also provide strength training, private coaches and everyone in the club is like a family. The main coach is excellent, he treats all the children with respect, provides great advice, and is extremely responsible and always accompanies the children to all their tournaments. I highly recommend signing up your kids for this club! It's a great place to start their fencing career"
"Northshore club has guided me and helped me learn how to fence very well. Even from my first time at this club till now, they have been very friendly and encouraging. They have many successful fencers here and have a history of producing top fencers."
"Nestled between the woods of Great Neck and hidden amongst the offices of Northwell Health lays the historical and legendary North Shore Fencing Club, specializing in the discipline of epee fencing. North Shore Fencing Club was founded decades ago by the fabled coach, Mr. Vladimir Gofman. Mr. Gofman’s reputation and results as a coach has been well documented in the annals of US fencing, his personal impacts have elevated the level of epee fencing in this country. After his passing, Mr. Gofman’s son and current head coach, Mr. Alexander Gofman was able to reinvigorate the club by assembling a team of world-class coaches to put the club through its Renaissance period. Alex has honored his father’s legacy on the sport by maintaining high standards of excellence while producing numerous winners of all ages. The club caters to fencers of all ages and skill levels. Each student upon entry is reviewed for both physical and mental prowess to find the coach specifically fit for the individual’s developmental pathway, ensuring maximal potential achievements. Our family arrived at the club as a transfer from another local club and soon found the atmosphere of NSFC to be welcoming and family oriented. The camaraderie relationship between the students is inspirational, helping each other grow in an environment free from malignant competition. Parents of fencers from various background are actively engaged in chat groups to exchange ideas and information to help all members grow. The realization is that we all grow as our team strengthens. I am proud to call the club home for our three young children, the lifelong friendships we’ve forged here are truly priceless. My wife and I have picked up fencing ourselves as a hobby but also part of the HIIT workout regimen. We are awestruck when we have the privilege to fence world class fencers – identities protected – during open fencing hours, fencing “celebrities” sighting each and every weekend! Currently the club coaching staff comprises of Mr. Alexander Gofman, Mr. Alexander Zurabishvili, Ms. Xiaoyan (Bonnie) Bao, Mr. Sergei Gubarev, and Mr. Ivan Zagoruiko."
"Definitely come here, if you are an epee player and if you are serious. We started about a year ago. My daughter told me she wanted to fence, so I was like “ok”. I searched around and found a few nearby. I called all three places and talked to someone. And I chose Northshore Fencer’s Club. The place is nice and clean. The coaches are very professional. They know what they are doing. All the kids are happy and working hard. After a few months, my daughter’s friends join the club as well. All the parents are happy too. Coach Alex is strict, which I think is good. If he sees the kids are chatting, not fencing, he comes to them and asks them to go back fencing. Coach Sergei is nice and professional. He is always there, teaching and fixing the weapons. People are nice and helpful. If you want to fence, definitely give Northshore Fencers' Club a try!"
"We have been members for 8 months now and it’s been a wonderful experience. The club is family oriented and the coaches are all excellent with the fencers. They value and nurture development of fencing skills and my son has significantly improved since he started. He has attended various tournaments and the improvement is clear. My son loves the club and the fencers are all very friendly and supportive of each other."
