Zeno Doeleman

Resident Coach

Zeno Doeleman (Zay-no Do-la-mon) fencing career began almost two decades ago after his family emigrated from the Netherlands to the USA as an A-rated epee fencer. He has won over 40 medals from US Nationals, Regional Open Circuits, State Championships, and high level local tournaments in the NYC and New Jersey area. 

Previously, Zeno was program director at one of the most successful clubs in the south, producing fencers in the top of the regional and national points list. His students have won RYCs, medaled at US Nationals and consistently won local tournaments. Many of Zeno’s students have gone on to fence at colleges such as Tufts, Vanderbilt, John Hopkins, Boston College and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Zeno’s previous club was also the recipient of the USA Fencing Club of Excellence award three years in a row. He is certified coach from the USFCA Moniteur D' Arms in all three weapons.

As well as coaching and fencing, Zeno is also a professional musician. He has toured all over the U.S with different bands and has even been featured on several albums.
