Hi Fencing People,

Greetings from Tbilisi, Georgia! We are sliding into your inbox before we disappear and lock in for World Championships this week (and then log off for vacation after that). To kick off the release of our second newsletter, please enjoy these quotes:

We love this confidence. Cheering for you little man.

• August 9 - 10: Two-day camps at Blade Fencing in Bangkok, Thailand

• August 11 - 12: Three clinics with Chillax Fencing in Macau

• August 15 - 17: Pre-season 3-day intensive camp for D and above rated fencers at Bluegrass Fencers’ Club in Lexington, KY

• August 22 - 24: Pre-season 3-day intensive camp for E and U rated fencers with 2+ years of experience at Bluegrass Fencers’ Club in Lexington, KY

Do you all like planning in advance like us? Check out our Summer 2026 Forte Village Elite Foil Camp in Sardinia, Italy, next year. This camp is unique in the fact that we will be spending an entire week together in paradise. We have been really pleased with the level of interest and strong applications that we have already received. On your end, make sure you fill out this short application ASAP since spots are limited.

If you know any veteran fencers, we are collecting interest to cater to that group either next summer or in a future year. Please send them this interest form.

We are currently creating the KM Fencing fall and winter 2025 schedule. Stay tuned for some delightful new clinic locations! As always, don’t hesitate to reach out if you are interested in having us come to your club.

Virtual Mentoring

For those who prefer video content, click the graphic above to learn more about how KM Fencing virtual mentoring works. Details are also available on our website for those who prefer reading.

Enjoy these fun facts from our mega team

What can we gauge from the above? KM Fencing mentors love France and Asia - our suspicion is that these places have the best fans and are excellent for eating.

Milwaukee Summer Nationals

Our mentor Ari took 6th in the Division 1 men’s epee event. Congrats to him on medaling in his first competition back since getting two surgeries!

We were thrilled to see many of our virtual mentees in person at Summer Nationals. If you happened to be in Milwaukee, we hope you ran into our super attractive banner and water fountain stickers. If anybody wants to review their bouts from Nationals or get ready for the new season, you know where to find us.

We also toyed with the release of limited edition KM Fencing merchandise in person and online. We sold out of many of the items, but a restock and some new products should be hitting the USA Fencing Shop website soon!

The 2025 Tbilisi World Championships start tomorrow! Here are links to live results and the livestream.

Life Lately

We are not going to lie, we have an issue with filling in every blank spot on our calendar. If you know us personally, this doesn’t surprise you in the least. Are we a little tired? Yes. Would we trade a little sleep for our time meeting so many enthusiastic, wonderful young fencers? Definitely not. This half of 2025 has been filled to the brim with symbiotic learning and joy.

A huge hug to everyone who has provided us encouragement and advice for growing our business.
