Ask Dan Kellner a Question

Balancing College and Fencing
For me, balancing fencing and college - I attended Columbia University - was a task that took a little bit of luck, some indecision, and a lot of discipline in my time management. Ultimately though, it was about making fencing my first priority.

Questions About the En Garde Position

Anthony from Madison, WI asks:
I’ve noticed that you stayed extremely low in your en garde. I can’t remember ever seeing someone lower. What unique benefits does your super low position give you and what drawbacks does it have?

In this post is a video of me fencing Andrea Baldini in the round of 8 at the 2005 Villa De La Habana Grand Prix World Cup in Havana, Cuba.
I hope you enjoy the bout.
