The Sebastiani Method
The traditional French Method of training fencers, practiced by Olympians and National Champions for decades, was brought to the United States more than 50 years ago when Michel Sebastiani emigrated from France.
It is a method of teaching fencing which builds foremost the most crucial fundamentals of fencing--footwork and bladework--in order to allow fencers to trust their technique, to focus on the decision making behind each touch, and compete and win at the highest level of competition.
