Fencing in Raleigh Is there good epee fencing in Raleigh? If so, who are the coaches?
-
The only (non college) club in Raleigh itself is Raleigh Fencers Club. The gym has has trained a couple of youth fencers from scratch to the level where they can make top 32 at JOs. Our best Junior fencer won the NC Div II/Div III qualifier last season and qualified for Div 1A at the Southeast Sectionals. (He didn't actually attend Nationals because of a scheduling conflict.)
I'm probably our best adult epeeist at the moment. When I'm in practice, I would probably be classified as a weak Div 1A competitor. I also help coach the epee group.
The epee group is currently small compared to our foil group. Last year, it was very uneven, too. A couple of fencers who tend to place among the Cs and Bs in larger events in the Southeast. A handful of fencers who tend to place among the Us. We're working to move the newer epeeists along, and it looks like we might get some of our more experienced foilists to practice with us more often this season. They have a more foilish epee game, but they're decent work for Div II/Div III epee fencers. I expect to start the new season this week with 6 - 8 fencers in the epee group.
I guess it depends what you're looking to accomplish. Feel free to PM or e-mail me off of the boards, and I'd be happy to chat.
