International Fencing Camp 2026
A Boutique International Épée Training Experience
1–8 August 2026 | Samokov, Bulgaria
Registration is now OPEN!
The International Fencing Camp 2026 (IFC) is a boutique international épée fencing camp offering a rare and highly personal training experience, where Olympic and World Champions work directly on the piste with participating fencers.
Hosted in Bulgaria at the Olympic-level Samelyon Sports Complex, the camp brings together world-class facilities, a focused high-performance environment, and a limited number of participants to ensure meaningful development.
This is not observation from the sidelines.
This is direct coaching, training, feedback, and shared piste time with Olympians.
Trained Directly by Olympic & World Champions
What makes IFC truly exceptional is the active involvement of Olympic and World Champions in every stage of the camp.
The Olympians do not simply attend or demonstrate —
they coach, train, fence, correct, and guide the participants throughout the week.
- Giulia Rizzi – Olympic Champion & World Cup medallist
- Rubén Limardo – Olympic Champion & World Champion
- Nikolai Novosjolov – Olympic & World Champion
This level of direct access, personal correction, and shared training is extremely rare in international fencing and represents a unique opportunity for fencers at any stage of their competitive journey.
For many participants, this is an experience that may come once in a lifetime.
Who the Camp Is Designed For
The International Fencing Camp – Épée is open to male and female fencers aged 10 years and above, across the following categories:
- U12
- U14
- U15
- U17 Cadets
- U20 Juniors
The programme is suitable for:
- Developing fencers with prior fencing experience and full equipment
- Competitive and elite fencers seeking technical refinement and tactical depth
Training groups are carefully structured by age and ability, ensuring safety, progression, and meaningful individual feedback.
Boutique by Design – Limited Places Only
IFC 2026 is intentionally limited in capacity.
This boutique structure ensures:
- Small training groups
- High coach-to-fencer ratios
- Continuous interaction with Olympic-level coaches
- Individual technical and tactical guidance
Every participant is seen, coached, and supported —
quality is never compromised by numbers.
A Complete High-Performance Environment
Beyond the piste, IFC offers a fully integrated training experience:
- Olympic-standard fencing halls
- Strength & conditioning facilities
- Recovery and wellness spaces
- Outdoor activities in a natural mountain setting
- A safe, international and professionally supervised environment
The week balances intensive training, focused learning, and memorable shared experiences that extend beyond fencing alone.
