Southwest Florida Fencing Academy
Welcome to Southwest Florida Fencing Academy
Fence with courage, win with honor, lose with dignity. This is our creed.
"It is a chess match moving at 90 miles an hour", says Coach Charlie. "Somebody is standing in front of you with a long pointy piece of steel they are trying to drive into your body. You have to stop them. At the same time, you are trying to inflict the same exact move on them."
