OVERVIEW

Join 2023 Senior World Champion and 3 x Olympian Eli Dershwitz and fellow Paris 2024 Olympian Mitchell Saron to prepare for Junior Olympics and beyond! This program is designed for competitive and elite level saber fencers. Fencers will be grouped by ability levels.

Dershwitz's vast experience as a competitor and coach, as well as his engaging and dynamic style, will offer all participants a challenging and unique opportunity to train with a legend in the sport.

Each day of the camp will start with a variation of different athletic movements, followed by strength, power and conditioning exercises, as well as mobility and injury prevention routines. The camp will place a heavy emphasis on footwork, with daily technical drills, tactical bouting, video review, psychological preparation and post practice recovery routines. Our goal is to bring together as many competitors training for competitions in 2026 as possible and to provide a nurturing training environment to all competitive fencers looking to up their game. You will leave this camp a better sabre fencer than you started and make new friends!

Full uniform and bouting equipment is required for participation.
