LionHeart Academy

I brought my mother here for her birthday with a Groupon. Although there was some miscommunication on our date and time, but they were super flexible with us and made room for us to use the archery. Lee was an awesome instructor and the complete vibe of the place was positive and professional from the front desk to the instructors in the fencing class. We will be back.

This is an incredible Fencing club and the coaches are second to none. Camps are rigorous and engaging and classes are awesome. Stuart Lee is not only a terrific coach/​Maestro, he has a great rapport with the kids. The kids strive to please him and get his approval, because he teaches respect for leadership and for the sport. I have 2 children in lessons & camps, ages 5 and 10. They both really enjoy it! I would add more stars if I could! Best Fencing Club in So Cal!

First rate program, very involved instructors, support staff. they do a good job of pushing kids or adults to the right degree (not too much, not too little). They keep things in order and very fun.
New facility on Cuyamaca St. in El Cajon has lots of space and very comfortable seating for parents.

My teenage daughter has been fencing at Lionheart for two years and I have been fencing there less than a year – warning! Very addictive! I planned on fencing once a week, then it expanded to twice, now I fence three to four times per week and have entered several competitions. Great facility, wonderful instructors. This place attracts quality people with emphasis on sportsmanship, fitness, and strategy. Kids love it here, adults love it here, and even the teens and tweens love it. A great community, very welcoming to beginners, top level instruction all the way through national and international levels. Maestro Lee is amazing and has a wonderful staff. Ready? Fence!

We’ve been bringing our boys here for quite a while now. If you’re looking for quality fencing instruction and caring instructors, this is the place. Maestro Lee is a great fencing instructor. He teaches the children every aspect of the sport, including good sportsmanship and proper fencing etiquette. He and all the other instructors here are very good with children. They are patient and make the sport fun. There are other fencing schools much closer to our house, but we choose this fencing studio because of the quality of instruction and the fact that their philosophy on the sport matches what we want our kids to know: (1) good sportsmanship is the key, (2) athletic stamina and using your brain is important, (3) respect yourself, your opponent, and your coach.
Fencing is a terrific sport. It combines athletic ability and mental strength. My kids really enjoy it.

Lionheart Fencing Academy is by far the best place to fence in San Diego! The coaches are friendly and informative, and the facility is beautiful. This is a great school for children and adults, team players and individual achievers. Everyone is welcome and everyone excels.
