Great article about fencing, especially for those who find value in the four types approach from L'Esprit de l'Épée: https://thefencingcoach.com/2026/07/16/4008/

Also appreciate the skepticism about the limits of the limits of the "physical chess" analogy: a further limit to it is that moves in chess are always the same (Bc1g5 is easily identifiable and always works the same way, even though the context changes), whereas physical fencing actions are much more variable and ambiguous. That sensory-cognitive component is a huge part of the sport.

Our schedule for the summer, starting Tuesday, July 7th!

A huge thank you to all of the volunteers who helped us run this year's East Coast Games!

Congratulations to those fencers who took their important first step into competing: Abdoul, Ada, Austen, Fatouma Zarra, Juliette, Madeleine, Samuel, and Sarah!

Further congratulations to the excellent performances of our competitive fencers who kicked some butt this weekend: Cielo, Elliott, Matthew, Quinton, Roz, and Sarina!

Congratulations to Nate Selig and Cielo Bagiscan for participating in their first National competition! It's a giant step up in challenge and from their excellent fencing there, I'm sure they will bring back new skill and intensity!

This camp is packing a lot of firepower, definitely worth attending if you are serious about epee!

More details coming soon! 🤺✨

Just a reminder that there is no class tomorrow (April 25) because we will be at the provincials!

It was great to see such excellent performances from our fencers at this tournament! I saw some epic comebacks, some snappy toe hits, some daring attacks in preparation ("interrupting sheep" style!), and even some inspiring resilience in the face of some devastating (and repeated) blade problems! Thanks for making it such a great tournament!
