Fencing Lessons — Youth and Adult

So I made a little test box useful to troubleshoot electronic fencing equipment. The tree was from his property from years ago. He milled and dried the wood himself.

Al is now, officially, the 23rd best 70 year old fencer in the world.

Representing the USA, Al recently qualified for and attended the world veteran fencer championships in Zadar, Croatia.

He started out ranked 114th, and fought his way to 23rd.

Coach Robin and Rowan have been spending some evenings creating swordplay choreography for The Cabrillo Stage production of Pirates of Penzantz!

Look at all the awesome people we get to play with!

Grats to James Mulligan who won a gold medal in BOTH Div 2 and Div3 mens foil this year. This is by any measure a stupendous achievement! The last person to do this was Cody Mattern… who continued to become an Olympic gold medalist.

James and his mom Kim Bolin both learned to fence right here at Salle Santa Cruz! In addition to taking classes since day one, he’s been taking private lessons from club founder and coach Kevin Osborn for 3 years.

California fencing clubs accounted for 11 national champions, followed by New York clubs – 7 champions, New Jersey clubs – 6 champions, Oregon clubs – 5 champions and Massachusetts clubs – 4 champions. Pleased and proud to do our part 😉
