“I love the mental game of fencing and the ability to trick the opponent. I like when I see my students win, and show progress, I appreciate the process of improving and living up to their potential. I try to make sure that the student understands why we are doing these actions and how to use them. For me practice makes permanent, so consistency in practicing the right good habit is the most important thing. AFA has a special welcoming and warm atmosphere; I want my input to help make the club one of the best in the region and the country.”
