Thibault Ferage, founder of Miami Fencing Academy, started his fencing career as a child in his native Belgium. Over the years, his passion for the sport took him to train in France and Italy, countries with a rich fencing tradition. With an impressive career, Thibault participated in 11 World Championships, 14 European Championships, and more than 120 World Cups, achieving one of his greatest successes with a silver medal in 2007. These achievements are just a glimpse of the talent and dedication Thibault has demonstrated throughout his professional career.

As a true entrepreneur and lover of the sport, Thibault decided to open his own fencing club, MIA Fencing Academy, to share his passion and experience with the next generation. His vision is to provide world-class training to aspiring fencers, and to achieve this, he has brought together the best athletes, such as the renowned Yannick Borel, Olympic and World Champion. Miami Fencing Academy also has the support of great friends and international champions like Neisser Loyola, Yulen Pereira, and many others, representing different flags and showcasing the global reach of fencing.

Fencing offers more than just physical exercise—it’s a complete development tool. It enhances agility, reflexes, and coordination, while also strengthening mental resilience and strategic thinking. It’s a sport that requires both physical and cognitive engagement, helping athletes improve concentration and decision-making skills.

Fencing also promotes discipline, as it teaches the importance of focus, perseverance, and respect for others. It instills a sense of self-confidence and pride, which extends beyond the sport and into all aspects of life.

Our goal at Miami Fencing Academy is not just to cultivate world-class athletes but also to make fencing more accessible and recognized globally. We are committed to spreading the values and benefits of this incredible sport, creating a community where both children and adults can grow, thrive, and become champions on and off the piste.

At Miami Fencing Academy, passion, excellence, and teamwork are the pillars that allow us to forge champions at every competition.
