Fencing Coach Jon Normile

I am an Olympic fencer, a world champion in the veterans category, a multiple-time former national champion, and a member of the US Fencing Hall of Fame. I give individual fencing lessons to dedicated and enthusiastic fencing students.

With my lessons, I pass along the art, science, and wisdom of fencing that I learned from my coaches before me, Dr. Aladar Kogler and Bill Reith, and that I've taught myself through a lifetime of fencing.

Please contact me if you would like:

I have been fencing for 45+ years and coaching for 20+ years.
