Bilingual sabre fencing in Tokyo. Clinics, beginner series, and ongoing programs — coached by an Olympian.
TIFA brings Olympic-level sabre coaching directly to schools across Tokyo. Whether students have never held a sabre or are training for national competition, we build programs that meet them where they are.
A single session to introduce students to sabre fencing. Perfect for sports days, PE enrichment, or after-school taster events. We bring all equipment — your school just provides the space.
A structured 6–10 week program that takes students from zero to their first bout. Covers footwork, blade work, right of way, and competitive basics. Ideal as an after-school club or term-long elective.
Regular weekly sessions for schools that want a permanent fencing program. We handle curriculum, equipment, and competition prep — integrated into your school's schedule and calendar.
