Sydney International Fencing Camp 2025

Where do we start?

Bill Ronald OAM OLY and his team put together an incredible eight-day fencing camp for Foilists and Epeeists this year. Maestro Enrico di Ciolo, Maestra Virginia di Franco, and their three assistants (Nicol, Tommaso, and Giulio) came all the way from Italy to work with the athletes and coaches to help everybody to improve their skills.

Our Head Epee Coach Avery Holderness-Roddam attended for the coaching professional development program, and our fencers Abi, Quincy, Noah and Tim attended as athletes.

Each day was action-packed and there was so much knowledge-sharing.

Our fencers gave 100% and truly rose to the occasion.

Coach Avery attained his Oceania Fencing Confederation Epee Coach Level 2 qualification.

The five Tasmanians returned on Sunday feeling tired and excited to share their skills with the Tasmanian fencing community when club opens in February.

L-R: Avery, Nicol, Tim, Quincy, Tommaso, Giulio, Noah and Abi.
