The camp has fencers of all ages.

The years we went there was a great mix of language. English is NOT the top language. Hungarian then I guess German then english and others.

You will be able to understand more than you woul imagine. You will have a great time and come back kicking butt!!

Cheers

I attended in 2002. It was mostly teenagers in all weapons and both genders. They divided fencers into 3 skill levels, by weapon and gender. Then they moved some folks around in the skill levels a little based on progress and true skill showing through. The weapon and gender assignments didn't change.

I was fortunate that I spoke some German, but it was never required. They always made sure everyone knew what do to. 11 or more countries were there so show-and-tell was a large part of the instruction.

One of the most important things to learn the first day was how do read the daily event calendar. It told by level/weapon/gender where to meet or show up for your sessions (2 per day). Locations and activities were always changing so you had to pay attention and ask questions if unsure.

There's more running and fitness during the first 3 days, but then everyone's bodies are tuned up and the shift is towards drills, skills, then bouts.

Also try to arrange for a daily coaching session. It was $10 for 30 minutes when I was there - a great buy and great coaching.

Great experience!

But does anyone have any details on it? A website? Even in Hungarian is okay. I can try to translate it as part of my magyar homework...

Can't do this year, but might be tempted for next summer.

Best person to speak to about that camp is usually Tony Solti, head foil coach at MTK. The camp is often known (or was...) as the "Solti Team Camp".
