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.

Club fencing

Club fencing in Central NJ is very limited to a couple of programs that meet biweekly for students. I am looking forward for more competitive fencing to come here once an established Club opens in Bridegewater, NJ. Luckily, I fence in Princeton with Master fencer Michel Sebastiani. He has been the Princeton Head Coach for 25 years. I have had the honor fencing Maya Lawrence and Sam Monk at CEP; they are great fencers who love fencicng. I also fence in Colts Neck at the Atlantic club that is growing daily. This new club in Bridgewater will be the new Medeo club. Their new facility will be ready this April, 2006. Hopefully, after the SAT's this Spring, I will be able to fence there also. The SAT's are around the corner, but I will keep up my fencing. This coming weekend will be the Ivy invitational. My coach at Princeton will be there with his team. I hope that I can visit these teams this Sunday. Princeton, Yale, Columbia and Harvard will be fencing against each other. Harvard has won the first part of the invitational; this is Columbia's chance to take revenge against Harvard. Anything can happen at these fencing meets. Maybe I can meet the Columbia Coaches there? Who knows? My mother's family went to Columbia and I could continue the legacy. See you later!
