I've been fencing under the Coach at ASER for nearly 6 years now, and I can proudly say he has made a great impact on the person I am today both in the fencing center and outside of it as well. He is extremely dedicated and I would 200% recommend trying out this club!

I have two boys who have been receiving fencing coaching from Coach Saeid at ASER Fencing Academy for many years, and I can confidently say he is the best coach in the entire region. His commitment to the sport of fencing and his genuine passion for his students' overall growth and advancement is truly admirable. Coach Saeid’s rigorous and structured curriculum focuses not only on developing fencing skills but also on conditioning and overall athletic development. Coach Saeid has a unique way of fostering discipline, resilience, and sportsmanship in his students while pushing them to excel. He is deeply invested in both the personal and athletic growth of each fencer, creating a positive and motivating environment. He not only teaches the sport but also shapes character, going beyond lessons to ensure all his students reach their full potential both on and off the strip. Our family is very grateful to be part of this incredible academy!

Since coming here I have seen a rapid growth in my fencing abilities. Coach adapts to your needs and helps you focus on the things you need to improve on. The amazing support from team and staff makes ASER feel like a second home.

My son has been ASER student for half a year and we can't feel more thankful for the thoughtful guidance of Coach Saeid. I feel my son has been given all the attention he needs, adequately pushed to grow while being supported going through the humps that come with intense training. Coach Saeid holds professional degree in body mechanics, so he is knowledgeable in all aspects of sports training. It's a great school that builds fencing and life skills such as discipline and perseverance and gathers a friendly and dedicated community of kids and parents.

Coach Saeid, a passionate and experienced coach is himself an Asian Games youth medalist in epee. If you are or child is interested in going to the next level and become competitive, AIFA is the place to sign up for. Training sessions are long and intense but the coach has proven to fine tune the intensitiy to the level of each trainee in order to ensure safety and optimal results. His techniques in encouraging the fencers and preventing burn-outs are exceptional. Hands down the best place to learn epee without wasting time and money.

ASER Fencing Academy is THE best fencing academy in DC metro area. My daughter really enjoys this Academy. She looks forward to her private and group classes. Coach is genuinely interested in his students performance and improvements. His dedication, care for students, and above and beyond attitude makes this academy the best place to learn. Students have good time and fun while learning new skills for fencing. We have not only seen huge improvements in my daughter game but also confidence and over all personality. We would highly recommend coach and ASER Fencing.

Great place to spend your time after work if you want to become an epee fencer. Coach Saeid has great fencing programs based on sports science and his strong fencing journey. He is also willing to listen to your goals and work with you to make them happen.

My son had been fencing for years at a club that was mostly recreational. When he wanted to get more competitive we looked for a new club and were so happy to find ASER fencing. Coach Saied is an amazing coach. He is experienced, highly qualified, and most of all, has created a positive, nurturing environment for his students. One year in and my son has made tremendous progress.

I have been at ASER since it began back in 2021 and Coach Saied runs an incredible club! He truly cares about every student and puts forth enormous effort to ensure that every student improves their fencing ability, has fun, and enjoys each session. ASER also gets the parents to join in, with a room to watch their children train, regular parties and events celebrating students' achievements (both fencing related and not), and many other ways. Overall, ASER Int. Fencing Academy is a great club to have you or your child come and learn (or improve upon) their abilities in the Olympic sport of Fencing!

My daughter had such a great experience at ASER. We are moving soon, so she won’t be able to attend his great lessons anymore. He is such a great coach and person. My daughter had been at other fencing places before. This one didn’t even compare to the others. I highly recommend ASER fencing for your children.

We love ASER International Fencing Academy. Our daughter started fencing a year ago and we are so impressed with the coach Said and how he teaches the kids and truly cares about each student. It's like a family and we are looking forward to tournaments and many more great experiences

This is an amazing place for kids. I love the Coach. He is very good with kids. The only reason we had to stop attending is because we moved far.

My son has wanted to try out fencing for years, so when we saw the sign advertising a free trial at ASER, we jumped at the opportunity. From the very first lesson, my son felt included and valued by Coach Saeid and the other fencers. There's a great atmosphere of commradery and desire for everyone to succeed. The more experienced fencers are often helping the newer kids, which is great to see. Coach Saeid genuinely cares for each of his students and wants to help them do their best. He often goes above and beyond both at tournaments and during lessons. My son never complains about going to his lessons or open fencing, and it's been fun to see him improve and grow in the sport. I would highly recommend ASER Fencing to anyone interested in trying this great sport out!

Such a great fencing club! Our two kids love going to practice. It's a wonderful community of families and the coaching is top notch! Coach Saeid really cares about the growth of each child. We tried out other fencing clubs before this one and what a difference the coaching makes. Our kids have grown so much in the last 5 months and excited to see their continued growth through this program.

I would give ASER fencing a 6/5 stars if I could. As an adult novice, they spent 1-on-1 time teaching me how to begin fencing. The coaching is fantastic, the athletes are all very welcoming, and the facilities are superb. I would highly recommend ASER fencing to anyone considering getting into fencing and to people looking for the best club to train at in the Northern Virginia area.

My boys have really enjoyed going to this club. Coach Saied is patient and willing to stretch the kids outside of their comfort zone when teaching new techniques. This club is a great learning environment, while also being friendly, welcoming and supportive of kids at all levels. I highly recommend Aser!

Absolutely love this club! Coach Saied has done so much for my two son’s and cares deeply about his students. He spends ample time on every fencer to make sure that they are improving their own different ways. My sons are able to have a good time interacting with the other kids while also still paying attention to the fencing lessons and improving rapidly. 10/10 this club is the best!
