On Saturday May 24th, 2008, Bladepoint Fencing Academy hosted the first veteran sabre cup for fencers over 40.  There are currently cup championships for under 12 youth and an open cup.  This marks the beginning of the veteran cup dubbed the “Bladepoint Sage and Sound Sabre Cup.”

First place was taken by Steve Bailey, 52, Carmel.  The cup occurs every month for veteran fencers.

(Indianapolis, IN)  On Saturday May 17th, 2008, Bladepoint Fencing Academy hosted the Checkered Flag Open.  In the Y10/Y12 Mixed Sabre event Cagney Chentnik, 11, Fishers took home her first gold medal and the Sabre Cup in an exciting bout exchanging point for point.

Cedric Hall, 27, Indianapolis won first place in the Mixed Sabre Open.

In the Spring of 2009 Indiana is the host division for the Great Lakes Sectional Championships and Qualifier.  Indiana has not hosted the event since 2002 when it was at Ball State.  Next year we will be hosting the event at Bladepoint.

On Saturday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 4th Jerry Rasdell, Jason Bailey and Nathan Sitzman travelled to Columbus to compete in the Great Lakes Sectional Championships.  It was a great experience for all of them.  Official resutls are posted on askfred.net.

From April 25 - 28, Nicholas Hanahan went to Portland for the NAC.  He placed 34th in the Y14 Men's Epee and 3rd in the Y12 Men's epee.  Great job, Nicholas!

On April 26th, Cedric Hall defended the sabre cup and maintained possession by winning. He fenced Jason Bailey in the final bout and came out victorious. This makes the second straight month for Cedric to have the sabre cup. The record is still Josh at 8 months.

On Saturday, April 26th Jared Wells of Terre Haute became the first Bladepoint Youth Sabre Cup winner.  Congratulations to Jared.

Jared has been fencing for a couple of years, driving from Terre Haute to Indy to train. 

The youth sabre cup was inaugurated on April 26th.  The AFA (Alexander's Fencing Academy) Sabre Cup was an open cup challenge running for the last year.  April 2008 marks the first Bladepoint cup and separation between the youth (under 12) and the open cup.

Sabre cups are fenced every month and are for Academy sabre fencers involved in competitive training programs.

Welcome to our new site and our new fencing academy. Some of you knew us as Alexander's Fencing Academy. Alex, head coach and owner of Alexander's Fencing Academy has had great things happen in his life that require change. Closing the Academy was a requirement for that to happen. Bladepoint Fencing was formed to replace Alexander's Fencing Academy and continue on where AFA left off.

We welcome you to our new home and encourage you to visit us soon.
