Nazlymov Fencing is thrilled to launch 2023-24 competitive season with a special guest -  US Olympian, World Champion, and many-time National Champion - Ivan Lee.


In 2001, Ivan anchored Jr MS team to the first World Championship Team Gold in US Men's Sabre history. This year, Team USA, consisting of Colin Heathcock, Will Morrill, Cody Ji and Lev BenAvram, regained the World Championship title.


Ivan was the first American male fencer to win a Junior Olympic Championship, a National Championship, an NCAA Championship, a World Championship, a Pan American Championship and make an Olympic Team.


Schedule:


9:30 - Doors Open

10 am - Practice Starts

12 pm - Complimentary Pizza lunch will be served


We want to create an opportunity for DC area sabre fencers to experience Ivan's coaching philosophy. As well as to learn his ideas on how he plans to continue to push USA Fencing forward as the recently elected at-large Board Member of USA Fencing


Ivan is also Head Coach of Long Island University. Coached by Yuri Gelman (Manhattan), Ivan was able to adapt soviet-style technique and strategy to modern sabre as it was going through a major transformation.


The clinic is suitable for all competitive fencers (Y14/Cadets/Juniors/Seniors) who plan to participate in regional (RYC, ROC, SYC, RJCC) and national events this fall.


Cost $75, payable at the door by cash, check, payment app's (PayPal, etc). NFF members can be charged against their account.
