A focused week of fencing can include more than drills and bouts. At TMFC’s Saber Winter Camp, December 26–30, 2026, fencers can train at our Manhattan East Side club and learn from conversations about performance, preparation and the college fencing journey.
The camp takes place at 235 East 49th Street, New York, NY. Choose Youth Elite, 10 a.m.–1 p.m., or Elite ages 12+, 2:20–6 p.m. All times are Eastern.
Olympic experience and TMFC coaching
The featured saber lineup includes Tim Morehouse, Giovanni Sirovich, Yassin Khodir and Ahmed Hesham. TMFC’s elite staff includes Tom Seitz, Mostafa El-Motaz, Linda Gonzalez, Mamoudou Keita, Mazen Elaraby and Babacar Keita.
Working with experienced coaches gives fencers opportunities to ask specific questions about their game, receive corrections and practice those ideas on the strip. Arrive with a goal: improving distance, choosing an attack more clearly or staying composed between touches.
College fencing guests and conversations
The announced special guests include Columbia head fencing coach Michael Aufrichtig, Cornell head women’s fencing coach Ariana Klinkov, and Harvard freshman and 2026 Junior Team World Champion Shaun Kim. Students from Yale, Columbia, Harvard, Cornell and other programs add perspectives on the experience of collegiate fencing.
These are opportunities to learn and ask questions about the path ahead. Guest appearances and session times should be checked against the current camp schedule.
Beyond the Strip: learn about the athlete as well as the fencer
Beyond the Strip sessions run in the 1–2 p.m. time block between the two saber training groups. Topics include sports psychology, performance and data, and the college fencing journey.
The announced program includes sports psychology with Dr. Michelle Chung, data analytics and fencing performance with Tim Morehouse, and a conversation about setting yourself up for success with Faye Kim, Shaun Kim and other NCAA athletes. Michael Aufrichtig’s college-process session is listed for December 28. Check the Elite Camps page for the current daily program.
