Fencing in Cairo, Egypt? Hey all,
Does anyone know of any fencing clubs in Cairo, Egypt or where I can look for fencing clubs in the city? I went on the fie website, but could not find the club directory. I am looking for a place to train for two months this summer.
Thank you

Thank you Oh, I know there's an egyptian forum member on here that attended the camp in Szombathely (HUN). What's his name...ah, there he is: Mahmoud Taher.
If I were you I would drop him an e-mail and ask. I've no idea where in EGY he lives, but I'm certain he could guide you. (He fences épée btw.)
There's also a reserved domain; http://www.egyptfencing.com, but it looks empty right now...
As always, summers are usually not the best periods to look for fencing, but give it a try. Good luck.

One of the guys on our team was abroad in Cairo first semester this season. He apparently found a pretty good club to fence at, if you want I can try to get in touch with him about club info. I now dangle to the left....my tassle. Get your minds out of the gutter.

I was in Cairo last year to photograph the grand prix, and some of the Egyptian fencers invited me to the Egyptian Olympic Training Center. They had a full floor of the building devoted to fencing; they provided me with all my gear to have a very full and fun evening of epee practice with their team. I would think that this facility is open for regular practice for non-team members, but I am not sure.
Mahmoud is a good person to contact, but I may have some other contacts if you need them.

This all sounds great. I would really appreciate any contacts that could be provided. Just private message me.
-
Timacheff, can you send me that contact info? Thanks.

Just don't let them talk you into their pyramid scheme... they're in deNile about how awful it is. "If I were ever to challenge you to a duel, your best bet would be battle axes in a very dark basement." Misquoted from The Prisoner
