    Contact Southcoast. You are correct it is primarily a Foil Club, but there are Epeeists. They get together among themselves to arrange a time for them to go. Find out what time that is.

    You say that as though it's a bad thing.
    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

    Oh no -- I'm all for keeping the sabre fencers isolated!

    Well folks, thanks for all the feedback. I checked around further, and found out that this Gryphon club is not kosher. Certainly not suitable for kids and young adults. Thanks to all the fencers who shared their feedback. That will be all.

    Since when does learning fencing have to conform to Jewish dietary laws??

    I barely know Eric, and George only in passing - but I do know slander, or a sockpuppet, or a schill when I read one's efforts.
    What type of a joke is the aforementioned post?
    AFAIK Gryphon is a brand new OC foil/epee club taught by 2 collegiate club coaches no one has ever had any drekk to say about.

    Again, Teacup, Purple Fencer, DHCjr, Flechewounds, Notalent, Demitrios, et al. have been around Southern California fencing scene for combined decades - they are definitely more trustworthy than your humble servant, and if they correct me - mea maxima culpa; but just to crap on 2 coaches' rep for kix and gigglez - that is low.
    Perhaps the above post can be removed?

    Hello "Natalia",

    It is obvious to us that both you and "lhorses" are sockpuppets - or false personas - created with the specific purpose of maligning this fencing club.

    As such, the owners of Gryphon Fencing Club may be able to pursue legal remedies against you since the IP address which you have posted from was tracked and can be traced by your ISP to your specific user account.

    Regards,
    Craig

If you are interested in sabre, Nick Dinu at Laguna Fencing Center is a much better choice. As far as George, when I checked his CalTech record, the team never made NCAAs. Most UCI fencers don't fence on campus, they go to UCSD, so I'm not really sure what Eric does. The place is not child friendly, because neither Eric nor George have the skills to work with kids. Good luck finding a club.
