TMFC to Hold Classes at the Metropolitan Montessori School

Pictured: Coach Lance and Coach Melvin give a fencing demo at the Metropolitan Montessori School

New York, NY (May, 2019) - Our very own Coach Lance and Coach Melvin head to the Metropolitan Montessori School to give a fencing demo to Upper Elementary students. TMFC will be running classes here throughout the fall.

Melvin and Lance gave a brief history of fencing and outlined the basics of the sport. Then they invited a few students to bout, and even called on the school’s librarian, Ms. Mbaye, to come up and try to score a few touches. The class was blown away!

A great time was had by all. We can’t wait to continue fencing at the Metropolitan Montessori School.

Check out the video below, as well as a photo of the demonstration posted by the Metropolitan Montessori School’s instagram.

P.E. took a medieval turn this afternoon when Upper Elementary students had the opportunity to fence with @morehousefencing! There were a few bouts at the end of class, and librarian Ms. Mbaye even stepped up to get a few touches in. #upperelementarymontessori #pe #fencing #mmsed #montessori

Student Spotlight: Silas Parks

“Silas started last fall… with footwork, and is now learning how to incorporate blade work with his friends in the musketeers class”

- Lancelot, Silas’ Coach.

Above: Silas’s father Chris Parks created a beautiful video showcasing Silas’ experiences at Tim Morehouse Fencing Club.

Silas has been fencing with us since September 2018. He attends the Musketeers class twice a week and trains hard with his coaches and peers. We are extremely proud of the progress he has made, and we are so excited for all of his future fencing achievements!

Great work Silas!
