Polaris Fencing Center

Our Mission

Polaris Fencing Center opened in Winter 2024 striving to guide foil fencers towards their fencing dreams. Our coaches aspire to nurture the next generation of great athletes through our holistic approach to the sport. Our mission is to build fierce competitors capable of bringing out their personal best on the fencing strip, no matter the level of competition. We hope that over their time at Polaris Fencing Center, these athletes can become leaders in their communities outside of fencing.

Coaches Brian Kaneshige and Jackie Dubrovich returned from the 2024 Olympic Games with the goal of building an inclusive community made up of passionate, hard-working foil fencers. Their many decades of experience at every level of the sport led Brian and Jackie to the pinnacle of the fencing world at both the Tokyo and Paris Olympics, and it is now their shared objective to pass along those lessons to future generations of aspiring champions.

Whether your fencer is a young beginner looking to embark on a new lifelong journey, or if your fencer is striving to accomplish significant milestones, Brian and Jackie look forward to joining that story at Polaris Fencing Center.
