About Us

Founded in 2005, Fioretto Fencing Academy is home to many who have discovered and nurtured a lifelong love of fencing.  The club has trained top competitors in the sport, but believes also in ensuring that young fencers apply lessons learned on the fencing strip to life: self-discipline;  good sportsmanship;  and honing the skills of analyzing complex situations and making good decisions quickly. Join us, and find out why fencing is one of only five sports contested at every Olympic Games since 1896 – practiced by both the young and young-at-heart!

Coach Alisa Chernomashentsev has coached young fencers at Fioretto Fencing Academy since 2014. Trained by her father, she has earned top honors in the sport, including 1st place in Division III Women’s Foil at the North American Cup, and the Gold Medal at the Florida Sunshine State Games in three consecutive years. Her placement in the Top 8 in Cadet Women’s Foil at the National American Cup and strong performances at other USA Fencing tournaments resulted in her being recruited as a NCAA athlete for the United States Air Force Academy’s collegiate fencing team. She has also been a sought after USA Fencing referee since 2010, and has directed bouts at national and international competitions. She is currently in the Doctor of Pharmacy program at Lipscomb University, and hopes to soon contribute to the health of the community-at-large, as well as the personal growth of her fencing students.
