Johan Harmenberg to speak at NJFA - Maplewood,NJ
Wednesday, October 24, 2007 7:30-8:45 pm
New Jersey Fencing Alliance, 50-58 Burnett Avenue, Maplewood, NJ
Johan Harmenberg of Sweden was 1977 World Individual and Team Epee Champion and 1980 Olympic Individual Gold Medalist. He is a member of the management team for Swedish Fencing and has just returned from the World Championships in St. Petersburg. His new book, entitled Fencing 2.0, is coming out next week.
His thesis is that it's possible to neutralize superior technique and achieve victory by avoiding your opponent's strengths and forcing him to deal with yours, a concept that has been adopted all over the world but never explained systematically until now. He will discuss his thesis plus recount his improbable rise from fencing "failure" to the pinnacle of success.
Admission is free. Copies of Fencing 2.0 will be available for purchase. For more info contact Frank Mustilli at
fencer0901@aol.com or 973-224-3448

You think you are funny, but you are Nótt. You are just a Borr and you can go to Hel.
