What Mark Wheeler has to say about a clinic with Michael Marx: "If you didn't participate in either of the last three Michael Marx clinics in the Bay Area, you should consider signing up for this one. At the very least, you’ll get a good day of drilling and bouting in. On top of that, you will likely come away with a fresh perspective on tactics, your fencing game, your approach to drilling, and, for you fencer/coaches or coaches out there, some new ideas for effective coaching techniques. You'll probably see a bunch of fencers from previous clinics there too, Always more to learn!" Michael Marx earned his Master of Arms degree in Poland in 1992. A five-time Olympic team member in 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, and 1996, Michael is the only man in the last 60 years to make the U.S. Olympic team in two weapons: epee and foil. Michael has been enshrined in the U.S. Fencing Hall of Fame, and is a five-time USOC Athlete of the Year. In other international honors, Michael earned the silver medal at the World University Games in 1985, the highest finish ever for a U.S. team member, and the bronze medal in the 1987 Pan American Games. At the national level, Michael earned a record eight U.S. national championships in foil in 1977, 1979, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1990 and 1993. He served as vice president of the U.S. Fencing Association from 1992 to 1996 and has served as the national women's epee coach.
