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

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.
