| Nice place, pleasant kids; I know from experience that they have very good sabre. Facility is pretty big--Mr. Ma moved a while back from a storefront to a big industrial space, and he has locker rooms, lounge, and a large number of strips. Coaching is pretty good.

| I've never been to the new location, but I stopped in to fence one evening at the original place and found it very congenial, thanks to the nice, welcoming people. Mr. Ma is SUCH a nice guy, and all of his students whom I've met have been great people too (and really good fencers, too). | |

| Thanks. I am interested
in their veterans camp for early summer. It seems like most of the summer camps are for kids and I am not thrilled fencing someone two feet shorter than I am and at least half my age! I wish more fencing clubs would do 4-5 day vets camps. Maybe there is not enough demand. | |

| I did the equivalent of that by going half days every other day to Mr. Ma's camp last year. It went fine, and Al Kovacs, Gene Fiducia, and Jane Eyre (all competitive veteran athletes) were doing more or less the same thing.
