Assistant Moniteur Workshop

The day was long, and we covered a lot of ground in 8 hours - and 8 fencers from 5 clubs are a bit closer to being certified by the United States Fencing Coaches Association as Assistant Moniteurs, the first step toward professional certification as coaches. The workshop covered a detailed review of beginner level skills and their applications, discussions of training, roles, and ethics, and practice demonstrating skills and teaching in a group lesson format. Participants rated the workshop high… Continue

AFL Championships

We served as the host club for the 2008 American Fencing League Championships, the only national level event for dry (or standard or steam) fencers. It was a small championships by USFA standards, 20 fencers in four individual (foil, epee, sabre, and three weapon) and four team events over two days. But the fencers took the event very seriously, we started on time and ended on schedule, there were no malfunctions in the equipment (no boxes or reels or electric weapons to malfunction), directing… Continue
