Summer Nationals Preparation Clinic

Summer Nationals Performance Clinic | June 19–21 

Prepare. Perform. Peak at the right time.

This 3-day clinic is designed to help athletes arrive at Summer Nationals confident, prepared, and ready to perform at their highest level.

Led by Kaizen coaches and supported by international athletes from Future Champions Camp (internationally-renowned, based in Milan, Italy), training is built around the real demands of high-level épée competition—not general training.


What Athletes Will Gain

  • Individual feedback tailored to their needs

  • Direct sparring with internationally trained FCC athletes

  • Guidance on handling pressure, long competition days, and tough bouts

Training includes guided drills, tailored training, situational fencing, and structured sparring—developing decision-making, adaptability, and confidence under pressure.

Guest Athletes

  • Virginia Romeo
    Swiss National Team | U23 European Team Silver Medalist

  • Nicolò Del Contrasto
    Junior World Champion (Italy) | U23 Italian Champion


Who Is This For?

Athletes competing at Summer Nationals who want focused, high-level preparation going into competition.
