Master's Fencing Club in Aventura / North Miami Beach
Head coach / top foil fencer there (best foil fencer in all of Florida really) is Rafael Suarez. A-rated, points list, two Olympics…
There are also three B's there and a clutch of C's. "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."

I am the chair of the Division, though, so feel free to contact me in advance of your move. "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."

I'm wrapping my head around "Do you know any good fencers... like Bs and Cs".

I suspect it's a side effect of
1) The assumption that if there were any other As in the area, they would have been mentioned.
2) The deflated foil ratings compared to epee.
I'm still trying to figure why someone would move to hurricane country for the weather...

I'm still trying to figure why someone would move to hurricane country for the weather... There are only two A-rated foil fencers in Florida, and it looks like both of them have let their USFA memberships lapse. So, I guess that there are zero…

Actually the ONLY place in Florida for foil is the Gold Coast if you are looking for any sort of competition at all. Sabre is almost non-existent and epee is really the only flourishing (and I use the term loosely) weapon of the three. "Kleptomania.
