Michael Marx Clinic 2010

April 2-4, 2010

CFA is honored to host 5 time Olympian and legendary Coach Michael Marx for a coaches and intermediate/advanced foil/epee clinic.

Friday night will be an open fencing and "get to know everyone" session at CFA from 6-10pm. This will also give participants a chance to ask for specific topics they would like to see covered.

Saturday starts the camp proper. This will be a "dual format" clinic and is a very cool idea. There will be a coaches session before and after the athlete clinic. During the foil/epee fencer clinic, coaches will assist with the lessons and group sections of the fencers camp.

You can pre-register here.
