Cracovia School of Foil Fencing puts the art in athleticism.
One of our successs stories from 2019:
Like most of you know, our own Linus Rastegar after 12 years of learning foil fencing at Cracovia under my direction and completing high school moved to his native country Austria to continue his fantastic fencing path.
He is living in Vienna and dedicated his time only to fencing for the last eight months: daily private lessons with Austrian Olympic Coach Evgeni Pickman! conditioning, lifts, bouting, and competing around Europe (well… I miss that part)
Linus took the bronze medal at Austrian Junior Championship!
He got enough points to make the top 10 in Austria in seniors and qualify for the Grand Prix in Shanghai, China. Linus received an invitation from the Chinese Fencing Federation to train at the Olympic Training Facility in Peking a few days before the Grand Prix in Shanghai. BRAVO!
