The Coaching Staff at Bayou City Fencing Academy

All Bayou City Fencing Academy coaches are qualified either through the United States Coaches College, its European counterpart, or through a background of extensive coaching experience. Each summer our coaching staff is augmented by International coaches and their students. These coaches and their students have come from France, Germany, South America, China and Mexico. This gives our fencers the opportunity to enjoy fencing with Internationally ranked fencers and to build lasting friendships.

All coaches work under the guidance of our head coach and have extensive experience working with children in recreational sports and fencing.

Coach Kamilla Skladanowska
	Kamilla is an extremely versatile coach. While her primary weapon is foil, she is no stranger to epee and saber. She received her Ph.D. degree in physical education with a dissertation on the role of overall fitness in fencing practice. Her works have been published in several publications. In Poland she worked with world-class fencers, helping them prepare for world championships and the Olympics. She herself is a 4-time Olympian, having fenced in the Olympics in Mexico, Munich, Montreal, and Moscow. She was also the Polish foil champion in individual and team events. We are incredibly fortunate that Coach Kamilla chose to come to the US to coach our students. She is not only one of the worlds greatest coaches, but a person who is delightful to work with.
