Recently, I have been thinking about what makes a great fencing program. I have been fortunate to be a part of several which radically changed my life several times. How do you create one? What are the building blocks? What is the role of the coach? Lesson? Practice? Footwork? Conditioning? Tactical? Technical? Psych? Life? Mentor? What are common traits of the best of the best. Whose shoulders should we be standing on?

Looking forward to sharing my thoughts with in 2 weeks.

While many Y8-Y10-Y12 children are not thinking college yet, we will be hosting Youth Developmental Session with Milos Vasic, Hopkins Assistant Sabre Coach and DVFC Head Coach. Since 2007 Coach Vasic has been introducing children to fencing “not just as a sport, but a way of life”, foundational sentiment of Eastern European school, popularized by Dr Kogler of Columbia.
