The 3rd. Foil Fencing Lesson, CoachGerryDuran
BackAll of CoachGerryDuran's Training videos can be found at www.FencingAcademy-Tampa.org. "Working with people that strive for excellence in the practice of Recreational Olympic Sport Fencing". Coaching recreational sport fencing has been part of my life since 1987. In that year I attended a fencing coach's seminar in Orlando FL. The instruction was given by Olympic coach, Maestro Michael DAsaro. From that day on, I knew that "I was" a "Fencing Coach". All that was needed: the skills of "the Coach". To start my new career, I attended and trained at: the United States Fencing Association's (USFA) coaching seminars in 1987 & 1988, the USFA Coaches College at the University of North Carolina in 1991, the USFA Coaches College at the Olympic Training Center, Colorado Springs in 1992 and 2005, seven day seminar "Sport Fencing The Unity of Theory and Practice" with renowned fencing Maestro Zhigniew Czajkowski in 2006. In 1992 I founded Tampa's Fencing Academy, in Tampa, Florida and became a lifetime member of the U.S. Fencing Coaches Association. In 2002 it was time to retire at age 62, from my job at the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa. Now I can dedicate 25 hours a week to teaching and coaching the sport of fencing at the Academy and local private schools. Their is always something more to learn in this sport, better technique, tactics, pedagogy, and now that the USA has gotten a taste of there first gold fencing metal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, more people are attracted to fencing as a recreational sport. I've taught and coached over 3,000 recreational and competitive fencers ranging in ages from 7 to 70. Everyone can succeed in the sport of fencing. All that's needed is, a love for the game.
