| Was tickled to see the St. Marks alums posting -- my brother in law fenced there as well, late '60s or early '70s, I believe. | |

| Thanks ancient_one for the picture of Okawa. It's great to see my old master looking so young. I wish I could have seen him fence them. Even in the 80's he was so incredible to watch and train with. I never saw him fence epee, only foil at the club. I don't know if we'll ever see his style, speed, grace, and art of deception, in a fencer again. | |

I felt I was fencing a mirror. I asked him where he was taught, and he was also a student of Okawa. Strange feeling.

The salle in the bakery building was Westside Fencing Center. Mori Fencing Academy used to practice there. I agree, that most of Okawa's students have simular styles. I remember after winning the San Diego Invitational one year, an older woman I didn't know, came up to me and said " ah, you must be Okawa's student". Best compliment I ever got!
Anyone know why Westside Fencing Center closed up? | |

| Anyone from Edinburgh Uni Fencing Club
Great idea for a thread. I was recently thinking of how my old club in Edinburgh is doing. I fenced there between 1992-1997-ish just making it to early intermediate level. I then dropped in an out of fencing until restarting to fence in the US last August. I've been meaning to write to my old master, Bert Bracewell about how I am getting on here in the US. I was told he's retired now. Does anyone have his address, or can I may be send him mail to the club?
I see EUFC has a shiny web site now, but the name I can recognise is Dave.
Ciao from Virginia,
