I will soon be teaching a fencing class at my synagogue where many members are seniors (I’m only a 69-year old youngster!). I hope that Connie will participate. She just had her 97th birthday, goes to the gym 3 days/week and does line dancing!

I recently taught Serious Swashbuckling for Seniors and Grappling for GrandPirates at the Senior Theatre USA Performance Festival. In my 16
years teaching sport fencing and stage combat, I have never had so
much fun. People need to change their perception of what seniors can do.
Our program, The Silver Stage Players, even write and direct their own plays.
Visit our website to see awesome seniors doing stage combat!

Sensational, what great staff to have the foresight and conviction to do something out of the square (as the saying goes today) and changing the perception that once your a true senior its feet up and bingo. Save me a spot in 20-30 years.

My favorite is certainly the single man with his walker. There’s something perfectly quixotic about that pose.

Do you think, that thay may hurt each other? Those sabres have a small ball on the top of it and I doubt, that those old people are strong enough to hurt someone..
