Testimonials:
Serious training AND fun! "The husband and wife instructors could not be more committed and qualified to be teaching these fencing classes. Training sessions are 2 hours- this should give an idea of how seriously instructors and kids take these classes. Classes involve stretching, practicing, learning how to referee (this is how kids learn the complex rules of the sport), and lots of bouting. Instruction is geared toward competition. Kids seem to love all the gear (mask, sabre, gloves, etc.) and the chance to act like pirates and buccaneers." Written by Vimala 10/4/06
Hurray! "All of the hard work last year paid off for this group as we have a real presence in the top ten. This is such a testament to your superb coaching! I don't doubt for a moment that if they stick to it, these kids have every chance of becoming world class fencers under your direction. Thanks as always for sharing your dedication and passion for the sport with our family." Written by Deborah Parker Wong 9/19/08
