Wilmington This Saturday!
Wilmington is this weekend!
We have a good showing for the Open Mixed Foil and a few in the Open Mixed Epee. Both Coach Gerhard and Coach David will headed down to fence as well. Test all your equipment on Thursday. Everyone will pack their own things, Coach Gerhard will not be bringing a team bag. Registration deadline is the day before, they don’t appear to be doing on site registrations and there is a max limit of fencers (the Senior Mixed Epee event at the time of this post, only has 1 remaining spot).

Leon Paul Xchange Mask Found on Ebay
I happen to run across a listing for a medium sized Leon Paul Foil Mask (listed as an epee mask) on Ebay from $125.99 (no bidding, it’s buy it now). It has the updated strap system and the neck safety strap. These masks retail for $380. But they’re good quality masks and are great, even when they’re used. If you’re looking at a new mask, and want to try an LP mask, this is currently on my watch list. If I don’t see it disappear in about a month, I might get it myself. Link: https://ebay.us/m/A9BDrz

May 23, 2026 – Team Titans Open (Greensboro Fencing Association, Greensboro, NC)
Corrected date, I accidentally put April 23rd in my last post.
There are foil, epee, and sabre team events! Put a team together (they all have to be senior fencers). This event is non-sanctioned, I confirmed with Coach Randall. You do not have to have all senior fencers for the event (but participants mush have USA Fencing Membership). But just know there are mostly teens and adults competing.
