Candlewood Norwalk is a great fencing gym. The coaches are very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. The epee coach, Marat, is top rate. He won multiple NCAA championships and coaches at Yale. The folks at Candlewood helped me to launch a high school program and they were exceedingly accommodating, couldn't have done it without them! The facility is an air-conditioned gym with four strips and a lounge for parents that looks onto the fencing floor.
