Multiple Olympic medalist Luigi Samele will prepare program participants for the new competitive season on the national and international level.
Join us for an exclusive Elite Saber Summer Program with multiple Olympic medalist Luigi Samele! This program is designed for saber fencers with national and international competition experience to prepare for the 2025/26 competition season. Samele's vast experience as a competitor and coach, as well as his engaging style, offer all participants a challenging and unique opportunity to train together with a legend in the sport.
Each day of the camp will entail a mix of tactical games, footwork and bladework drills, directed bouting, video review, and psychological preparation. There will be theoretical and roleplaying scenarios, along with "real world" practical exercises and situations. There will be breaks built into the schedule! Our goal is to bring together as many competitors training for Summer National Championships as possible and to provide a nurturing training environment to all competitive fencers looking to up their game. You will leave this camp a better sabre fencer than you started and make new friends and contacts!
Full uniform and bouting equipment is required for participation.
Cost is $950 if paid in advance on askFRED by 8/1/2025. If spaces remain, $1050 at the door.
One-on-one lessons are available to participants in the clinic. Instructions will be sent directly to registered participants.
