[quote=Anonymous][quote] Is there anything closer to GMU area for kids?[/quote] Elite is off Braddock Road on a side road just before 495 - about 4-5 miles from GMU, 20 minutes in traffic. The PP is right, it’s not the most welcoming environment - fine for little kids (they have a separate class) or kids who are already advanced, fairly clique-ish among the older kids and parents. Some very good fencers and coaches though, and where you want to be if your child wants to be competitive. FSA is in Fairfax City - great location, super close to GMU, but it has lost a lot of students and coaches. One of the remaining coaches, Moataz, is wonderful. The problem is that so many kids have left that there aren’t many others to fence, and the owner has done a number of things that upset parents, such as yelling, seizing phones, and blocking parents from the floor even if they have young kids. Many of the kids leave and go to Elite.[/quote]
