A Fencing Center Built on Legacy & Passion
Golubitsky Fencing Center (GFC), located in Orange County, California, stands as a distinguished international fencing center, drawing inspiration from the esteemed legacy of Sergei Golubitsky, a member of the FIE Hall of Fame. Established in 2012, GFC embodies the collective passion of all fencers who have devoted their lives to the sport.
At GFC, we transcend conventional training, cultivating a culture deeply rooted in fencing mastery, guided by the indomitable spirit of Head coach Sergei Golubitsky and our professional coaching team. These coaches, who are lifelong practitioners, bring a wealth of experience to the center, creating an environment where every touché serves as a testament to skill and discipline.
GFC warmly welcomes enthusiasts, novices, and competitive fencers alike. Becoming a part of GFC means joining a legacy, where each lunge and parry signifies a stride into the realm of champions.
GFC is honored to announce that Sergei Golubitsky will serve as our head coach. Sergei was recently inducted to the FIE Hall of Fame. He won three straight individual World Championships in Men’s Foil and is considered one of the best foil fencers of the 20th century. After his competitive career, Sergei successfully coached the national teams of the Netherlands and Germany, notably leading the German women's foil team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and coached Team Germany at the 2012 London Olympics. His passion for fencing and his students’ successes have earned him an extremely high reputation in the international fencing community. We look forward to Sergei’s leadership and coaching at the center.
