STEPIO

Coach Aspromonte has developed a proven approach on fencing training, with his specific handwork and advice fencers on every match, the approach has successfully been adopted in his camps in Jesi, Italy and Houston, USA, and for all other camps across the globe. And it works very well among all age groups and levels, from age of 4 to professional fencers.

Aspromonte works closely with each fencers to ensure they know their rooms to improve, understand the rationale behind the drills, practise what they learn in matches and apply to their tournaments in the nearest future.

Due to the specific condition in Hong Kong, the focuses are more technical and practical here on the fencers' technique. In the future coming visits, we will bring Italian fencers fencing with local fencers to drive the synergies and enhance the inspired cultural differences among the fencers -- all these make the Aspromonte Visit unique. 

Italian way of fencing is flexible, and different from the Eastern Europe way, yet it claims to be the most traditional and less 'standardized' way of fencing.
