| My 8 yo DD is interested in trying fencing. We're still in the sample everything phase as there is no sport she's found she really likes. Anyone have a good fencing academy they can recommend? We'd like something in Fairfax or Chantilly (on the CHS end). TIA |

| Not sure it’s in the best location for you but my kids both like NOVA fencing. |

+1. DS spent one week of summer camp at NoVA fencing in Falls Church and loved it (wants to take classes now). I’ve heard there are a few other good ones in Fairfax county-/ Springfield and Fairfax city |

My kids also at Nova and love it. Friendly club and they are moving to the old Golds Gym next to current location so it’s going to be a great new facility.
Opening early next year I believe |

| OP Here, we did the archery/fencing camp at NOVA and my daughter really loved it but it's hike for us. We're in Clifton and I was looking for something in Fairfax. |

There's a place in Fairfax City near the corner of Old Lee and Main St. It's above the Ace Hardware Store I believe. No idea how it is. I remember a friend took his kid there for a while when his son was exploring other sports.

| Best in the area is PENTA in Mosaic. They have the most nationally ranked fencers in the area and I believe they are second or third in the nation. I was worried about how my recreational fencer would fit in there but I’ve found the coaches to be wonderfully supportive. |

| My son goes to Fairfax Fencers in Chantilly. They've been great and appear to be a bit more cost effective than the other clubs. |

| OP here thanks so much for the recommendations! I’ll check them out. |

| Another vote for Fencing Sports Academy in Fairfax - they have one of the top epee fencers in the world and a supportive environment. My daughter loves the coaches. |

| Fencing Sports Academy is great. My kid goes to another place in MD but did one of their winter camps and liked it. |

Where does your kid go in MD? |

There is Cardinal Fencing Academy in Dulles just north of Chantilly.
