When did you start fencing? January 2021

What weapon do you fence? Saber
When did you start fencing? I started fencing around summer 2021, but only started doing it competitively in November of 2021.
Why? Originally my mom started to fence, first, and around the time she started fencing (summer of 2021), there was a lot of violence aimed toward the Asian community, and I wasn't very comfortable with my mom going alone to fencing practices at night, so I joined her and fell into the sport right away.
When did you start fencing with Miami Fencing Club? Summer of 2021
What is your greatest fencing accomplishment? My greatest fencing accomplishment so far would be getting my B rating. I just happened to be fencing one of my close friends in the final and I won 15-14, which was very dramatic, and I ended up earning my B. The tournament rating was originally an A, but because I fenced an A and knocked him out of the top 8, the rating of the tournament went down.
What is your favourite fencing memory, so far? One of my favorite fencing memories so far occurred at a NAC (North American Championships) when I was coaching one of my students/friends, and he ended up making it to the finals of Cadet and earned his A. It was very cool to coach so far into such a high-level tournament and see one of my students win 15-14.
What university are you attending? I am currently enrolled at Florida State University, but I will be transferring to the University of Texas Arlington.
What are you studying? My current major is General Business Management and Sports Business Industry.
How do you think fencing helped you get there? I would say fencing helped me keep my competitiveness and to stay in shape.
Where do you see yourself in five years? I see myself working for a business firm somewhere in Dallas or working for a sports business company, with fencing continuing to be a main part of my life.
What are your plans for fencing in the future? My fencing plans for the future are to shoot for the Olympics. My current coach was the national South Korean team coach for many years, so I think that if anyone has the tools and blueprints to help me get to the Olympics, it would be him. My short-term goal, currently, is winning a Division 1 event at a North American Championships or winning a Junior event at the Junior Olympics.
