    Coaches that we have trained extensively with?

    taken any lessons with at all?

    talked with about our fencing?

    attended a group training camp with?

    Those could be big lists...

    In order:

    Mike Giammarco
    Cesar Morales
    Ariana Klinkov

    Edit: I've also taken a couple of lessons from Mr. Ma at a fencing camp, and a single lesson from Francisco Martin at a fencing camp at Brown several years ago.

    Edit Dos: O nuts, I forgot I've also gotten lessons from Dave Blake.

    ok, I think that's it..

    For any real length of time:

    Jim Lawless
    Jim Ferrone
    James Birabauer (sp?)
    Jamey Odom
    Oleg Solomonik
    Albert Chikaev
    Paul Soter

    That's not including people who have had a really big impact on my coaching career, which includes most of the above and Bob Cotter, Maureen Griffin, Mike Pederson, Nat Goodhardtz, Colin Clinton, Darius Wei, Allen Evans, Jay Choi, Dave Chavez, Tomek Amborski, Elliott Clinton... the list goes on. Not all of them were my coaches or even in positions of authority over me, but those are people that I have felt a large benefit from being around coaching wise.

    Occasional advice & feedback (but no lessons) from Dmitriy Guy

    Totally blanking on the names of people I had one-off lessons with in the post-college years, except Mark Masters (once) & Charles Green (only a couple months).

    DeWitt Tash
    Paul Filios (college)
    Jim Carter (college)

    (edited to add DeWitt... had forgotten all about those trips to Springfield Salle d'Armes!)

    Jane Littmann
    Michael Tarascio
    Edward Lidow
    Wayne Han
    Dave Blake
    Bruce Capin

    Plus three different guys in Colorado, all of whom I have forgotten the name of, which probably shows how much investment I had working with them.

    Plus any lesson I was the student for at Coaches College for I suppose also counts? Notably Pixie Roane's since I acted as her student without actually being enrolled in Level 3 epee with her :P

    and I'll count Noodle too. Just because.

    If you're in Colorado Springs, Rod is the man to see. Great instructor.
    The reason hitting below the belt is not counted in sabre is that it could cause brain damage.
