We are excited to introduce Tokyo International Fencing Academy.
TIFA was founded by Kaito Streets, a Tokyo 2020 Olympian and Asian Champion, and Hugh O'Cinneide, an Ivy League captain and NCAA All-American. Between us we have lived the fencing pathway from a first lesson through to the Olympic and NCAA stage, and we want to open that door for students here in Tokyo.
We bring the sport directly to schools. Whether a student has never held a sabre or is already training for competition, we build a program to fit:
- One-off taster clinics for sports days and enrichment
- A structured beginner series that takes students to their first bout
- Ongoing weekly coaching for a permanent school program
We provide the equipment and the expertise. Your school provides the space.
If you would like to bring fencing to your students, get in touch. This is just the beginning, and we will share every step here.
