[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son took lessons at DC Fencers in close-in Silver Spring for a few years a good 12 years ago. It was great. To clear up confusion above, the youngest kids were only allowed to donsaber, but older kids and adults were able to do Eppe — not sure if it is still that way. Not sure who runs it now, but back then it was owned/run by a guy whom I believe was a Polish National Champion. Years later, I noticed that some of the tweens my son fenced with went to junior olympics and some were on the fencing team at Yale. He really loved it for a couple of years and was doing well, but as it got more competitive with a greater time commitment he realized it was not as much of a priority for him personally as it was for some other kids. Still, it was great fun for me as a a Dad to watch. [/quote] They no longer have that rule. They have both epee and saber for kids 8 and up. [/quote]
