MR. MA CUP 2011
Congratulations to Gabriel Canaux, winner of the 2011 Mr. Ma Cup in Y14 Epee! Not only did he bring home the Y14 champion trophy, but he almost made top 4 in the Senior Epee competition as well, earning a 5th place medal. Good job Gabe!
NYFA PERFORMANCE AT NJFA’S 5TH ANNUAL DANNY BUKANTZ OPEN
We would like to share some impressive results that our fencers showed this weekend!
- Gabriel Canaux had his best personal result this weekend at the NJFA 5th Annual Danny Bukantz Open. Even though Gabriel is still in Youth 14 age group, he competed in the adult tournament that had 86 competitors. Despite the fact that the tournament consisted of over 20 “A” fencers and the same amount of “B” fencers, Gabriel made his way all the way to the top claiming the Gold Medal and earning his “A 2011” rating.
- Skyler Chin made NYFA proud as well by making top 16 at the same event. Skyler is only in the 13 year old age group, and we are happy he can compete on the adult level already. Congratulations to Skyler on his performance and on earning his “B 2011” rating.
