    Fencing Clubsin florida

    Anyone know of any fencing clubs near Kissimee Florida. I will be heading there for my winter break and would love to get in a few bouts of fencing with some new partners.

    Saberfencer93 -- Kissimmee? Disneyworld?

    Back to the topic, I'll be in the area as well and am also looking for a competitive club in the area of Orlando. From looking at the websites of the clubs in the Florida central division, I still can't make out if the clubs I'm reasearching are mostly rec clubs or are competitive clubs with a more than a few saberists.

    20min away isn't too bad. The Winter Garden Fencing Academy looks promising but the website says its mostly a foil club. The nearest competitive saber club I've found is in Fort Lauderdale, the club is called the Saber Outreach Network but that's way too far from Orlando.

    Let me know if you've found a promising place around Orlando to fence saber.

    Sorry, I alawys hate it when my programs don't work as planned.

    The specifics: I typed in a zip code (90024) where I knew there would be several salles in a 15 miles radius but the Google map just marks the location of 90024 and no salle locations ppop up. I've tried it with other zips and addresses and the same thing happens.

    Again, it could just be me.

    It works. Though the database needs some tweeking. I know a few folks who fence in the 90024 zip code and UCLA and Avante Guade are not on the list -- they should be right in the middle of the zip code.
