Seasonal Olympic Fencing Camp — Spring Edition Elite, high-performance training focused on refining technique, advanced tactics, and conditioning to prepare athletes for peak performance this season.
ABOUT THE SEASONAL OLYMPIC FENCING CAMPS
Unlock your full potential with BFA’s signature high-performance camps, built directly into our competitive system. These are not optional add-ons — they are strategic, game-changing training blocks designed to elevate how athletes think, build, and win bouts.
Held three times per year, these intensive programs focus on the elements that truly separate medalists from the field: tactical clarity, strategic decision-making, and intelligent bout construction — not just physical effort.
Each camp is led by BFA’s elite coaching team:
Zhanna Bikkina — Stanford Assistant Coach, Coach of national team athletes, World Champions, and Pan American Champions
Sergey Bida — Olympic Silver Medalist, World No. 1 (2019–2020), World Champion
Violetta Bida — Olympian, 3× World Champion, 3x European Champion
Training is conducted in an environment that mirrors top international and Olympic-level programs, with a strong emphasis on how to fence — not just how to move.
