Escrime d'Acadie

Must see video. This truly could be the lightning strike that fencing needs to stop being a playground for oligarchs and nepo-babies. And what better way to do it than to hurl it into the light of public where these vultures and roaches would have to either start playing nice or flee for good. Go Miles and WFL!

Hi gang! This is a reminder for those who did not receive the announcement email in the club newsletter. Jonathan Cohen from New Orleans Fencers Club has reached out to us with a small but important favor so to speak. This August from 22nd through 24th is the first of two CC Open events in New Orleans. This is the fencing equivalent of "Superbowl" for our (LA) division and Jonathan is trying to make both of them a success.

With that in mind he has asked any and all members of Escrime d’Acadie who are intending to compete in the tournament to sign up as early as possible as this will attract a lot more out of division and out-of-state competitors thus making it a better event, and improving it’s profile.

Being that DIV III is mandatory the fencer pool is a bit scattered and you can check-in with Jonathan to see what will happen if any event does not have a sufficient number of fencers.

If you have any questions, you can direct them to Jonathan Cohen ([email protected]). He is quick to respond and tries his best to help fencers. Otherwise you can reach out to me (Igor O.), DK Hebert Photography (David Hebert), and of course coach Phillip Dugas with any questions.

Details on how to register can be found HERE, and you can use the giant countdown to 25/26 season on the website to access this event or the website calendar of upcoming announced events.

Meet our esteemed coaches: Head Coach Phillip Dugas, Head Coach Krista B. Fontenot, Saber Coach Igor Omerbegović, Epee Coach Nick Hoss, Youth Coach Jim Diaz, and our reclusive and elusive Quartermaster and all around great guy Tim Dugas (there is not photo of him 😂)

A big thank you to DK Hebert Photography for the excellent headshots and myself Igor Omerbegović for graphic design 😜

This is Patrick Prejean. He is one of our most dedicated and longest serving fencers and a local artist who has been accepted into the ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY OF MUSIC. That's Right! Pretty Awesome!

As you may imagine it is quite an undertaking to move half-way across the world and start your life anew, and Patrick could use a bit of help. So he has started a GoFundme fundraiser for that purpose. On behalf of Patrick, all of us here at Escrime d'Acadie kindly ask of you to help him make this incredible opportunity a reality. View his fundraiser and donate here: https://gofund.me/990a7665

Thank you all so much for your donations and your kindness!

Team Escrime d'Acadie having fun and getting it done at the Mother's Day Tournament in Baton Rouge!

This, in a nutshell, is what we are all about here at Escrime d'Acadie. Congratulations to all four of our fencers on a successful and fun tournament, and a little extra for the medal winners DK Hebert Photography and Phillip Dugas

Friendly reminder! There will be no practice or fencing this Friday 04/18 in observation of Good Friday. We will resume our normal operations on Saturday with an Open Fencing Session from 12-2pm as usual!

Matt Fanguy!
