THE NZ SABRE CAMP!
SEPTEMBER 11th AND 12th 2010
Organized by The Sabre Club in conjunction with coach Vik Manuge and assisted by Keith Mann and Jonathan Chan. Also attending will be Luke Robertson, (current National champion), Katherine Taylor (former Australian and current NZ titleholder). The coaches and fencers have a vast experience of coaching and fencing in New Zealand and overseas.
It is the only major sabre event before the start of the Commonwealth Fencing Championships in Melbourne on September 29th.
The two-day camp, is being held at the Fencing Institute, Jack Hinton Drive, Christchurch, and is suitable for beginner to senior. It will cover, goal-setting, tactics – with emphasis on the push-pull nature of top level sabre – and sabre fitness focusing on recovery ability, speed and strength. Plus there will be structured bouting using the latest refereeing interpretations. Each day will begin and end with a round robin competition so the coaches can analyse fencers and provide each fencer with recommendations for improvement.
Your own electric sabre gear is mandatory. Billets may be arranged for out-of-towners, please ask. Much of the information imparted during the sessions may not available in books or on the web so a notebook and pen is a useful training aid.
