Competitive Camps

AFM Competitive Fencing Camps are an exceptional opportunity for competitive foil and epée youth/cadet and junior fencers to train intensively under the guidance of world class AFM coaches. Campers will improve their physical condition; strengthen fencing technique and hone tactical skills in two Bay Area’s newest facilities.

AFM Competitive fencing camps will be at AFM Sunnyvale at 1269 Forgewood Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94089

Summer Nationals Preparation Camps

This camps are designed to provide the best possible preparation for fencers competing in Summer National Championship and July Challenge.  Athletes will experience intensive immersion in fencing, honing specific techniques, strategies and tactics, in numerous bouts and tournaments and engaging in mental training for success. The entire camp is conducted to ensure that fencers reach peak readiness in time for the most important competition of the year.

This year we will have Italian National Junior Team members that will fully participate in Cadet/Junior camps on both weeks. They are multiple World and European medalists, Junior World Champions, and multiple Italian National Champions. They are an excellent addition to our already top-notch epee camps.

Coaches will work with participants to improve their fencing skills and provide constructive feedback on technique and on-strip strategies to help athletes adjust their game during fencing bouts. Each athlete will be challenged to think critically and develop approaches and methods to improve their own fencing performance and empower themselves in competition and their training afterwards.

AFM World Champions Epee Camp

Last year this camp was one of the best camps ever that AFM offered. Featuring Olympic Silver Medalist and World Champion Gergely Siksosi, Two times Junior World Champion and top World fencer Valerio Cuomo, Italian National Team member Fabricio Cuomo, our own Sergey Bida and Olympic Champion coach Sandro Cuomo, this camp was an instant hit, and taught our fencers a lot as well as these people served as huge inspiration for all. We are capitalizing on this success and this year are bringing the same caliber World fencers. We cannot yet disclose the names at this stage as there are some negotiations that are ongoing as well as some considerations due to the Olympics. But rest assured – this camp will be a blast this year as well. It is an essential camp for our fencers to attend as part of the two camps’ preparation cycle.

This camp is MUST for all epee fencers who want to take their fencing to the next level in technical, tactical and mental aspects of the game.

This camp is open to all participants of all levels. We will divide the groups according to their skills during skill-specific workouts.
