| SoCal club question
A friend of ours attends one of the Claremont Colleges and is looking for training opportunites. He's an "A" rated foilist, and dabbles in epee. Any suggestions for a good coach and club nearby?
Thanks |

Fortune Fencing's probably the closest...and there will be some tournaments at Claremont this year. |

| Most of the foil clubs are toward the middle or west side of LA. Fortune is excellent for epee, I'm not sure of the foil.
Foildad, can you send me a PM and I can let you know what the other options are for foil.

top 5 foil coaches in LA area :
Sergey Vashkevich LAIFC
Sergey Vashkevich LAIFC
Sergey Vashkevich LAIFC
Boris Kushnir BHFC
Misha Itkin LAIFC
Al Carter wouldda been there - but he moved,
Derek Cotton as well, but methinks he is on coaching hiatus right now.
I don't think Derek Snyder is coaching actively either,
Saul Mendoza in San Diego is probably too far.

Suzy | I sent you a PM. I watched Chris fence into the 8 at D1A. He was great. Congratulations. Quote:

Boris is a bro'. I shared a cab w/ him once and oh, the stories he could tell.
Derek Cotton would be a great coach for this kid; he has been trained by one of Derek's former students. Is he not around?? Quote:

Thanks everyone,

I'm sure one can find him through FOC.
