foil camp

Prepare your body and mind for Summer Nationals, or start your summer off with a concentrated dose of fencing! 

The camp focus is competition preparation. Selecting your tactics, creating your setup, and changing based on new information are skills every bit as important as advance-lunges and feint-disengages. So is managing expectations and anxiety; the best mindset makes each competition rep a new opportunity.

Darius Wei has taught at Rochester FC, Northwest Fencing Center, and Duke University. His students have won National Championships, NACs, ACC Team and Individual titles and represented their countries at World Championships.

Other coaches include regional and national medalists, and NCAA varsity athletes.

• Note: Summer Nationals begins on Saturday, June 27, so Friday may be a travel day. If the day schedule permits, we may extend training into Friday, June 26. This will be announced as soon as the Nationals schedule is released.

RTF is a family-friendly, fun environment – a safe space for athletes to challenge themselves to improve. Our 3000sqft facility is specially designed for teaching and training, with 8 strips, a shock absorbing floor and custom video replay systems.

Camp is approrpiate for fencers age 10+ with at least 1 year of foil fencing experience, or by coach permission. Ask Coach Darius (darius@researchtrianglefencing.com) if it’s right for you!
