My Coaching Philosophy
“Find your fencing rhythm and everything else will flow from there”

As an architectural designer, I also see many parallels between architecture and fencing. Yes, Architecture appears static to the naked eye, but it is filled with a wide range of motions expressed in its geometries just like fencing. So an in-depth understanding of the proper postures and techniques is what I aspire to teach my students.
As a musician and a Drum teacher at Kent Drumming Club, I teach my students to discover their rhythms by training their body clock and their listening skills. Similarly to Drumming, Fencing also has many rhythms, and each fencer has his or her own rhythm.
My goal as a Fencing Coach is to assist the fencer in his or her discovery journey in finding their rhythm. Once this is achieved, the sword becomes an extension of themself. This makes them free to express their intension effectively. Then, my job evolves into helping them to control their rhythm to achieve their goals on the fencing piste.
I was coached by James Williams both as a fencer and as a coach. James was an amazing coach who positively impacted many lives in the fencing circles and beyond. He imparted this self-discovery philosophy to me, which has been the source of my success in competitions and shaped me into a better fencer. As a Fencing Coach I aim to do the same for my students.
James is the fencing giant that I looked up to and my success has been built on his coaching. He has inspired me to open 3rd Avenue Fencing Club, based in Kent – Gillingham, feel free to come visit us.
I enjoy working with fencers of all ages, particularly people who care about others, enjoy challenging themselves, have great ambitions, or simply aspire to be better today than they were yesterday.
