We what can I say.  This summer has really started off with a bang.  Ever since I have been in Charlotte since moving from NY to start promoting fencing the summer has been the slow time of the season until this year. We have started the summer with 17 campers in the sabre camp and man are they motivated.  We have drilled them run them and put them through the same training that we put the kids through in New York and they still want more.  So they are now signing up for the foil and the epee camps in order to make the march to Atlanta next season.   We feel sorry for the people that will be standing on the other side of the strip from them next year. I special thanks goes out to the parents that have housed the out of town campers and the assistant coaches and Matt Parmer for dedicating their summer time to help them develop their fencing skills.

Now that we finally have a competitive group that has the same level of commitment that the New York fencers had we have decided to call this summer set of camps the Return of the JEDI.  Starting next season these campers are looking to hit a tournament every weekend.   Now that there are tournaments all over the southeast this is now a viable goal for our competitive fencers.  We would like to thank everyone from making the Return of the JEDI possible.  It has been a long time coming week 2 photos
