Learn the Sport of Fencing in philadelphia, PA

Located in a 100+ year old building in a mostly residential block just north of Penn-Presbyterian Hospital and west of Drexel University, Central is situated between Lancaster Avenue and Saunders Park, where students sometimes play warmup games. Full of character, the gym features a weight room with free weights, weight machines, and cardio machines; permanent strips and reels, and a complete armoury. Parking is unmetered and relatively plentiful. At Central we teach foil and épée.
