Maestro Giancarlo Toran, President of the Italian Association of Fencing Maestri (AIMS) and head coach of Pro patria Scherma in Busto Arsizio, Italy, will direct an advanced workshop for fencing instructors and coaches (maestri) specialized in epee.
This will be a hands on course where participants will be able to experiment with the suggested techniques, compare them, and analyze them with their own methods of teaching. Analyses, technical, and tactical discussions will follow the viewing of films and videotapes of the last senior World Championships in Leipzig.
The course will take place in
Canazei, Val di Fassa, in the Dolomites region of North east Italy.

August 27 - September 3, 2006

Notes:
1. Even though the course will be in Italian, several of the expected participants are fluent in English and other languages.
2. The area where this course will take place is one of the most attractive in the alpine region at the foothills of the Dolomites. For a peek check this link:

3. In Italy, as in France, the profession of fencing monitor, fencing instructor, and fencing coach, is regulated. One must have attended courses and passed exams both in theory and practice of fencing, for each weapon. Calling yourself a coach because you saw others doing it or because you found parents entrusting their children to your care for "teaching" them how to fence, or even if you won one or more gold medals at the Olympics, doesn't make you one.
