Luka Oboladze | Coach (Saber)
Oboladze is a Saber fencing coach whose talent lies in developing fencers — youth, adults and parafencers — to go on to become champions.
We were delighted to have Luka return to Tim Morehouse Fencing Club in 2022 after a four-year stint from 2016 to 2020. Previously, he worked with fencers of all ages, but really made his mark with the Veteran fencing program, growing it from nothing to 15 active members in a year. He has also led camps for both youths and adults.
Luka started coaching Saber while he was still fencing himself. He worked with youth fencers, wheelchair fencers and also served as the Assistant Coach for the National Team of Georgia.
As a Saber fencer, he was a member of Georgia’s National Team from 2010 to 2016. He earned countless medals at the Kutaisi Cup and Championships, the Georgian Cup and Championships, the European Cup and Championnats d’Europe. In 2014, he was a member of the bronze medal winning U-23 European Championships team. He was also part of the Georgian team placing in the top 10 of the Senior European Championships multiple times.
Luka attended the Akati Tsereteli State University in Kutaisi, graduating in 2014 with a degree in Oriental Studies.
