Fencing Academy of Phila

A few months ago I got an email from Amazon Local for a deal to a 2-​hour introductory fencing class at Fencing Academy of Philadelphia (FAP) and decided to purchase the deal and give it a try. I set up my appointment and strolled in to FAP not really knowing what to expect.
Mark Masters, the Headmaster and owner of FAP, ran the class — he was excellent! He took the time to explain the history and rules of the sport and how it’s evolved over the years while making sure the class was fully engaged. Hello cardio! My heart was pumping while we were warming up and going over the different steps and positioning. The last 45 minutes or so of the class was used to work with a partner and actually doing some «guided» fencing and get introduced to the three different types of weapons used in the sport.
I really enjoyed this class! If you ever want to check it out, I definitely recommend heading over to the FAP.
