Confidence, focus, and movement — all rolled into one activity
If you’re looking for something different for your child - beyond the usual soccer, dance, or gymnastics - fencing might be worth a closer look. The Fencing Academy of Philadelphia offers Olympic-style fencing instruction for kids of all ages and experience levels, right here in the city.
Whether your child is brand new to sports or looking for something that challenges both their body and mind, fencing is a surprisingly great option.
The Fencing Academy of Philadelphia has been teaching modern Olympic-style fencing (foil, sabre, and épée) since 1989. They work with complete beginners through advanced competitors and offer structured instruction in a supportive, welcoming environment.
They have locations across the region, including Philadelphia, making it accessible for city families looking for a consistent after-school or weekend activity.
