You could try to become a coach. In the U.S., the USFA conducts coaching
certification programs. From there, you can coach at a club, college, or
high school, or you can teach fencing at a school, community education
program, or summer camp. Coaching at a club is the most likely source of
year-round income, and even then it's hard to *just* be a fencing coach
unless you're really good at it and you're in a pretty big city.
Your chances are better if you know how to fence and coach all three
weapons.
