Tim Morehouse Fencing Club - Upper West Side

Just a few blocks from the 91st Street subway, fencing offers a way to refine movement while learning a sport that blends chess and lightning. Tim Morehouse Fencing Club – Upper West Side sits on the second floor at 210 W 91st St, making it easy to combine after-school practice with a stop at Riverside Park. Group lessons for all ages build coordination and strategy before transitioning into open bouting and private sessions when readiness appears.

Beginners and intermediate fencers share the piste while younger athletes learn under coaches who adapt drills to each child’s pace. Leagues for families and adults slot between weekday classes, giving everyone a path to compete. Discounts for kids cut tuition for siblings attending the same block of classes, and make first-time kits more affordable. Rentals sit ready near the door so new fencers can enter without investing before they step on the strip.

Students reach for the phone between bus connections to reserve or confirm availability: give (646) 624-8344 a ring when schedules shift or class sizes tighten. Voicemail picks up after practice hours, so afternoons and evenings cover most requests without catching anyone off-guard.

For anyone tracing the route upward on the sidewalk, look up two flights—after the elevator ride or stair climb—centered above the brownstone’s second-floor landing. A quick check of the map guides walkers across Broadway and west toward Amsterdam, and the neighborhood hum of strollers and piano lessons drifts in behind the door. Above 90th Street the Upper West Side feels residential even as fencing blades flash in the afternoon sun.
