  • Epee:     BAF qualifications equivalent to BFA regional coach
  • Sabre:     BAF qualification equivalent to BFA county coach

    • Mike began fencing at the age of 13 and entered many competitions during his fencing career with notable successes including second place (Foil) in the Essex open and quarter finals in the all England (Sabre), both when Mike was in his late teens.
    More recently Mike won four county Gold medals in one year: Individual Sabre, Team Sabre, 4W team (Sabre) and Veterans (all three weapons).
