In 2001, Royal Arts was formed to teach fencing not only as sport, but as a lifelong love and providing lessons for life. Focusing on youth fencing in America, Ms. Richey built the program up to be one of the largest in the area, started the Arnold Fencing Classic as one of the largest tournaments in the country and part of the largest mutli-sports festival in the nation (probably the world), the Arnold “Schwarzenegger” Sports Festival. She has already produced one national champion with several more being groomed right now.
