BARN DOOR FENCERS CLUB
LEARN TO WIN WEEKEND FENCING CAMPS
This camp will focus entirely on all aspects necessary to win fencing bouts and competitions. Everything from technique to winning psychology to bout strategy and more. All winning elements will be put to practical use in bouting and games during the camp. Every fencer learns the same basic fencing skills, but not every fencer learns how to win. I teach more than just fencing skills, I teach winning skills as well. Come, learn and be a better fencer.
