Meet Coach Will

Coach | Epee and Foil Moniteur

Will Richmond started fencing sabre at SAF (Studio of American Fencing) in 2001, in NE Portland. While in college in Ashland OR, he fenced at Southern Oregon Fencing Center. At SOFC he was taught foil and epee under Maestro John McDougall.

Upon returning to Portland, Will started taking lessons with the late Maitre Delmar Calvert at Salle Trois Armes in St. Johns. Later in 2009, he started training at NWFC.

Will Richmond has competition experience at local, regional, and national levels. He spent the bulk of his competitive career as a Division 1 epee fencer.

Will has been working as a coach in various weapons since college and has found teaching to be incredibly rewarding. Will holds coaching accreditation in both foil and epee from the United States Fencing Coaches Association.

You’ll find him spending his time off with his wife and daughter and going on long bike rides.
