About

We are Tsvetelina and Kristiyan Hristov

Every elite fencer has a team behind them — and often, the most important members of that team aren't on the strip. They're in the stands, in the car on the way home from practice, and at the kitchen table talking through a tough loss. That's you.

This course is created by Tsvetelina and Kristiyan Hristov, founders and head coaches of Premier Fencing Academy in Sacramento, CA — one of the top fencing academies in the nation and a leading academy for Ivy League recruitment. Together, they bring over 20+ years of elite coaching experience and a combined competitive résumé that includes national championships, Junior/Cadet World Championships, and World Cups. As a husband-and-wife team and parents of three, they've coached hundreds of athletes to national titles, NCAA championships, Ivy League commitments, world champions and world championship podiums — all while raising fencers of their own.

Now they're sharing what they've learned from both sides of the strip: as coaches who've built world champions and Ivy League recruits, and as parents who understand what it actually takes to support a young athlete through the highs, lows, and everything in between.
