Coach’s Information
Coach: Rich Michniewicz
Graduate of Hackettstown High School 1988

Coaching Experience: 19 years

Teaches: foil, epee, sabre

Competition: 28 years (and still going)

LVFC was started on April 1, 2000. It has always been a dream of mine to open my own club and teach others what I have learned over my 28 years of fencing. When I would go to national events I would pick the brains of the coaches from all over the country to see what their philosophies were and what results they were getting. In my teaching, I combine my own experiences and some of those philosophies from other coaches. My students range from ages 4-45. Not all fencers are the same, so each one is handled differently. Be it the recreational fencer or the one that truly wants to become a champion, all have my attention and devotion.
