Tim Morehouse Fencing Club’s Veteran Saber Team Member Jasmina Denner is featured in this month’s Fairfield County’s Look Magazine!

The article is a question and answer with Jasmina about her experiences with fencing including her fitness training, the camaraderie she has felt amongst the fencing community and also about her son’s Lysander and Max who are both nationally competitive fencers.

An Except From The Article:
Looking ahead, it would be wonderful to make the national team again, but above all I want to be a role model and encourage young, as well as adults to give this amazing sport a try. I guarantee they will be intrigued by the intricate nature of fencing—it is truly a workout for body and mind! Not to mention, it just happens to be the perfect sport during a global pandemic. Not only do you wear a mask and gloves, but you are encouraged to stab anyone who gets closer than six feet to you!
