Épée Training Camp in Hungary 2026
Fancy a week in one of the world's strongest fencing fortresses? Come to the international training camp organized by our partner, Békessy Béla Fencing Club in Debrecen! The training camp is meant to be a challenging experience for advanced and high level fencers in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The staff includes olympic level coaches, a physiotherapist and entrepreneurs in the fencing world. The camp takes place between August 3rd and 9th, 2026.
Fencing Coaches
The camp’s professional program is led by a team of specialists who understand every side of high-level épée. It is a rare opportunity to learn from:
Dr. Gábor Salamon: A highly respected coach with Olympic and World Championship medals in his portfolio.
Solt Serra: The Head Coach of the Swedish women’s épée team, bringing top-tier international experience to the floor.
Daniel Chacón: 3-weapon fencing coach, with several Pan-American medalist students. His fencing is a well-selected mix of the world's leading fencing schools.
Jakob Fagerstedt: A youth specialist from Djurgårdens IF, member of Swedish senior national team, 3-times national champion.
They are going to be there to work with you on your individual goals, helping you refine your technique and tactical decision-making during the sessions.
The schedule of the week
The program is built around two sessions per day to get the most out of the day and ensure proper regeneration between the trainings. This formula ensures you can work on technical details and put into practice new tactical elements as well.
Location: Debrecen, Hungary
Debrecen is more than just Hungary’s second-largest city; it is a welcoming place where history meets a modern lifestyle. Getting there is very convenient, as the Debrecen International Airport connects the city with several European destinations. If you arrive via Budapest, the city is only a 2-hour drive or a comfortable InterCity train ride away. Beyond the sport, the region is a fantastic destination for sightseeing: you can explore the cozy streets of the city center, visit the famous Reformed Great Church, or relax in the local thermal baths. For those seeking adventure, the nearby Hortobágy National Park offers a unique glimpse into the Hungarian "Puszta," a UNESCO World Heritage site that feels like a journey back in time.
Training sessions will be held at the Békessy Béla Fencing Club, located on Faraktár Street, within walking distance of the city center. The club is one of the most modern facilities in Hungary, featuring high-quality professional strips and a spacious training area. The building is also fully accessible for para-fencers. This professional environment, combined with the club's great location, provides the perfect setting for the camp.
