Summer 2009

We are going strong all summer at South Miami High School and Miami Dade College. Our Monday program in Pinecrest is progressing nicely.

Our fencers have been in motion this summer with fencing camps and participation in the recent Summer 2009 National Competitions in Dallas, Texas.

National Competitors in Dallas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our National Competitors fought valiantly at the Summer Nationals in Dallas. Congratulations to Lucas Fernandez, Chris Hayes, Cofi Hilburn, Harrison Hue, Marlon Inestrosa, Raquel Ruiz, Emma Telschi, and Sean Vilar.

Chris Hayes took a Bronze Medal in the Division III Sabre event. Way to go Chris!

We also wish to thank Javier Andino for accompanying the crew and coaching the youngsters.

Private Lessons for Winners
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you want to take your fencing to the next level? Are you ready to get serious and fence for gold? Private one on one lessons are the best way to improve quickly and learn new techniques. Lessons with our instructors, Frets Olivares, Javier Andino, Gustavo Ortelli, and Maestro Tack-Fang are available at most Club Meetings. The cost is $25 for 30 minutes. If you are interested in private lessons, please see Mike Elder. Take advantage of this great resource now!
