Fencing Academy Of Phila is a humiliating place! 1/8/2010

In my experience and the experience of some friends, their kids were treated horribly and the coaches try to humiliate the kids, in fact, they pride themselves on acting like drill sargeants and being inappropriate and disrespectful. They may teach your child how to fence but it is done in a most downgrading way - if you care about your child learning the correct appropriate behavior do not send your child to the Fencing Academy of Philadelphia. more

Fencing in University City 6/8/2006

I used to live next to the Fencing Academy and every day i saw the kids and adults working hard and practising late into the night. I did stop a couple of times to inquire about the prices and courses available. they are courses available for every age and skill level. They have a lot of trophies to prove their mettle. the only downside i see to the place is its lack of parking. more

Fencing Academy of Philadelphia (FAP) 6/15/2005

Large numbers of national finalists. Occasional national team members. By far the best fencing near the city. If you want to fence and you live near Philadelphia this is the place to go. Instruction available for all levels from beginner classes through individual lessons to the national-finalist level. A strong competition-oriented club with a good roster of fencers in all three weapons. A bit weaker in foil, especially strong in epee, but a good club throughout. PROS: Strong class program, very strong open fencing. CONS: Could use a bit more space on busy nights. more
