I am part of a fencing club called Advanced Fencing Academy located in Lemont, IL. Our coach, Master Marek Stepien is an Olympic athlete and renowned Epee Coach. Here are some pictures from our club.

I'd like to acknowledge my dad's friend Tim Brennan, another fencing parent, who provided invaluable guidance and advice as I started this sport in 8th grade - which is pretty late if you want to progress to an A rated fencer. Mr. Brennan now runs a College Admissions Advising business called Union Hall Advising. I'd highly recommend getting in touch with them if you are looking to get into top universities and possibly land a fencing scholarship.

The other fencing clubs in the area include my former club Fencing Club of Chicago in Des Plaines, Windy City Fencing Academy in Chicago and Illinois Fencers Club in Mt. Prospect.
