Virtual Mentoring

We have really enjoyed working with fencers with a wide range of ages and experience levels from all over the world through our virtual mentoring program. For those unfamiliar, our sessions are 30-minutes and take on multiple formats depending on fencer preference:

• Analysis of a video uploaded by the fencer where we provide advice on topics including technique, strategy, and mindset

• Q&A format where (nearly) nothing is off limits

• Review of a high-level international bout to reinforce important concepts and stimulate creativity

A Big Welcome to Epee and Saber Mentors

In response to the high demand for mentors in epee and saber, we recruited a jaw-dropping team.

Communications Note

One growing pain that we have experienced as a new business is that some of our emails have accidentally been marked as Spam since we send registration and payment links. If you have submitted a request for mentoring or contacted us about anything else without receiving a response, please check your Spam folder or submit another request below because we typically respond to all inquiries within 1-2 business days.

Life Lately

2025 has evaporated into thin air. We have most definitely kept ourselves busy by birthing and growing KM Fencing while continuing to train and compete. In addition to our virtual mentoring program, we have poured our ourselves into clinics, working with enthusiastic, driven fencers from all over the country.

Some highlights from our international season so far include individual bronze medals for Gerek in Cairo and Lee in Lima in addition to a few team podiums! Remaining tournaments this season include:

• Vancouver, Canada World Cup this weekend

• May 16 - 18: Shanghai, China Grand Prix

• June 24 - 29: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Zonal Championships

• July 22 - 28: Senior World Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia

On a personal note, this season has been filled with a myriad of mental and physical challenges - making career decisions, recovering from surgeries in the fall of 2024, and navigating the post-Olympic blues. All of the gratitude to those who came in with the assist!
