Fencing in University City  4 Star Rating - Very good

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.

Fencing Academy of Philadelphia (FAP)  5 Star Rating - World class

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.
