The center will offer training for fencers from beginner level to elite competitors.

The celebration will include an Olympic flag raising, photos and a fencing demonstration.

U.S. Women’s Foil Team Gold Medalist Jackie Dubrovich — and her coach Brian Kaneshige — made their triumphant return to the NJ Fencing Alliance in Maplewood.

Team USA has reached the finals and will face Italy in a duel for the Gold medal.

Dubrovich is headed for Paris with the USA women’s foil team.

“To be able to call myself a two-time Olympian is surreal, and I’m so grateful for everyone that has helped me get to this stage. I’m looking forward to training the next four months at NJFA in Maplewood … and I’m excited to give it my all.”

“It is beautiful,” said NJFA Director Frank Mustilli looking around at the new space, “and we’re going to turn out a lot of champions out of here — a lot of champions.”
