About Florida Fencing Academy

At Florida Fencing Academy, decorated coaches encourage students aged 6 and older to improve their technique and boost their fitness levels as they learn to use the foil, saber, and épée. The point man of the coaching staff is founder Brian Harper, who established the academy after a career highlighted by two National Saber Championship victories and 28 national medals. Students can follow in these oversize footsteps by working on their quickness, rhythm, and strategy in private and group lessons.

Fun experience! I only took 2 or 3 lessons before I moved to a new place. Coach Brian is an expert in practicing and teaching fencing. I like his idea that "fencing is just like dancing". I would come back again if I could.

Great classes and the coach is very knowledgeable. Fencing is a great way for my children to learn strategy, discipline, and skills while getting plenty of exercise. I would recommend coach Brian, he is great with the kids.

I took my three sons there for a day of camp. None of them had ever fenced before. My oldest son was very good, and the owner showed a great interest in him. My middle son was ok at it, but when pitted against my eldest, the owner told him, "I'll bet you a million dollars you won't win!" How's that for encouragement? My youngest, only 9, had only one other little boy to compete against him. When he beat him, the other little boy sat down and refused to fence again, leaving my littlest with nothing to do, and the owner was too busy trying to impress my eldest to remedy the situation.
