Fencing in Marlboro

I am fencing in the Marlboro, NJ area. There are no HS teams here, only independent fencers who try very hard to make it in local and national competitions. Fencing is a martial art.

Fencing in Marlboro

I hope to start a fencing club at my High School; there are many students who are interested in fencing. Some want to learn the art of fencing; others like the fact that fencing is a martial art. I am proud that I started to fence since my Freshman year in High School; I only wish that fencing can become a varsity sport at my High School. The Middle Schools and High Schools in North New Jersey and on Long Island
have fencing. It is a pity that fencing is not in our schools too. Maybe my brother, who is now in Middle School, will be lucky and he will fence on a High School Varsity team in Central New Jersey. Fencing has been in my family's blood for many years. My grandfather, Sam Kauderer, came from Romania, and he remembers that his father, Karl Kauderer, rode horses and held a sword in his hand while in the Calvary there. My grandmother, Donna Victoria Medina, came from Spain and they too knew of swords there. Some of my family is also from Argentina and Columbia and they fenced too. I guess that is why I love to fence; it is in my blood.
