Coach Alexandr Maximovich works with a student during a private lesson at the Academy of Fencing Masters. Coach Alexandr was the Assistant Head Coach Foil for the gold-medal winning USSR fencing team in the 1988 Olympics.

It is very exciting to see that Academy of Fencing Masters was featured today on the front page of San Jose Mercury News Willow Glen Supplement.

And the nice coincidence is that today 7 months since AFM opened its doors and the first class was commenced. They say 7 is a lucky number 🙂

Bonnie Everett (mom of William Elloway) contacted the newspaper and shared her son’s experience and her own thoughts in such exciting form that the next day correspondents came, spent at AFM 2 hours and wrote this wonderful article.

Thanks Bonnie for letting us know how do you feel!
