Sentiment Analysis
He takes the time to get to know the kids and encourages them to take responsibility for their growth.
Fantastic program with an amazing Olympian!
He helped me become focused as an athlete and as a student, and still checks in on me to this day, almost a decade after I stopped competing.
From helping me connect with collegiate coaches as a part of the college admissions process to taking me across the country to compete in tournaments, Coach Mika’il would go out of his way to help ensure my success whether it be fencing related or not.
Coach Mikha’il is not only an incredible coach for fencing but also made a real impact on my son and our whole family during the years we were at Thrust.
Thrust Fencing is one of the most elite fencing clubs in the country but what you get from Coach Mika'il is far more than world class athletic training you get someone dedicated to you as a whole who will ensure your success in anything you pursue.
He finds the proper approach to engage and motivates my daughter to want to do more of her best in practice.
Coach is not only skilled, but he has a genuine care and concern for the development of the students.
He personally assisted me in attending one of the best schools in the country while training me to compete at the collegiate level for 4 years.
Our community is incredibly fortunate to have the privilege of a three-time Olympian Fencer like Mika’il establishing a school right here in Mount Kisco.
