Florida Fencing Academy, Gainesville

Very able to communicate with children and teach in an upbeat manner. Made learning fun. He is also a Master of the art.

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.

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.

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.
