About Cabrillo |
The Cabrillo Academy of the Sword was opened in February of 1996 at the location it still occupies. It was established with a threefold mission:
That the club has been able to achieve these goals can be determined by the fact that roughly two-thirds of its members are recreational fencers, almost all of whom learned to fence right here. In competition, our fencers have won two National Championships in Women's Sabre, and have earned national medals in Junior Men's Epee, Men's Foil and Veteran Men's Sabre. Locally, Cabrillo fencers have captured a large portion of the gold, silver & bronze medals awarded in San Diego every year. Of our approximately 100 members, half are nineteen or younger and half in their twenties or older, with about a third of the total being female. Currently our youngest fencers are eight years old while our oldest are in their eighties. Fencing is classified as a "Lifetime Sport" by the President's Council on Physical Fitness, which means that it can be learned and enjoyed at almost any age. However, for instructional reasons, we set a minimum age of ten years for participation in our group classes, but will take a student as young as eight for private lessons. |
